A golfing community turned trendy
At the gateway to downtown Palm Springs is the stylish community of Baristo, which became a playground for movie stars and golf players in the early 20th century. Today, residents live in view of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, a stone’s throw from Palm Springs’ downtown shopping centers and world-class courts in the historic Tennis District. Reagan Richter, a Realtor with Compass Realty who has lived in the Palm Springs area for over a decade, says the tourism industry is one of the area’s main employers. “It’s a second home destination for a lot of people,” she says. The neighborhood hospital, Eisenhower Health, is also a major employer. “The area has a more laidback pace compared to other cities like San Diego or L.A.,” says Richter. “There’s a less dense population so it's easier to get around. It’s also really pretty, so that’s always a plus.”
Baristo has mountains on the horizon in all directions.
Downtown Palm Springs offers a vibrant atmosphere and plenty of shopping options.
