Northern Palm Springs community between downtown and the mountains
Vibrant views of the San Jacinto Mountains greet Palm Springs Desert Park Estates residents each day. This residential planned community was built in the 1950s as an extension of the Palm Springs Country Club and features midcentury housing designed by renowned local architect Hugh Kaptur. The community is 3.5 miles north of downtown, making it a tranquil location close to shopping, dining and cultural attractions. The neighborhood’s laidback lifestyle is reflected in the Monkey Tree Hotel, a popular resort at the area’s southern border and one of the only businesses in Desert Park Estates. This charming community offers entry-level housing prices for Palm Springs and easy access to the nearby Coachella Valley.

Housing styles from three decades
“Desert Park Estates is a larger neighborhood with a community feel. It’s got midcentury homes and some contemporary styles from the 1970s and ‘80s. It’s a good neighborhood for potential buyers to find a home and put their own touch on it. It’s accessible to the freeway, and it’s easy to get to other desert cities,” says Morgan Janney, a Realtor with The Firm Brokerage with almost a decade of experience. The neighborhood features spacious lots landscaped to support the natural desert environment, large backyards and a variety of price points. Homes sell for a median price of $840,000 after 73 days. Remodeled midcentury houses range from $950,000 to $1.4 million, while ranch-style dwellings begin around $675,000 and continue to $1 million.

Easy access to the Inland Empire and points beyond
Although Desert Park Estates is car-dependent, there are several ways to get around without a vehicle. Bus stops are found on North Sunrise Way, one of the neighborhood’s major roadways. Sidewalks are sporadic due to the different periods the neighborhood was built in, but residents still stroll along the gridded residential streets thanks to minimal traffic. The estates are near California State Route 111 and the 10 Freeway, which takes people to Los Angeles or Coachella. In fact, most working residents commute less than 15 minutes one-way daily, one of the nation’s shortest travel times. Sunrise Medical Center is just over a mile away, and the neighborhood has some air traffic noise from the Palm Springs International Airport three miles southeast.

Wildfire and earthquake risks
Like all of Palm Springs, Desert Park Estates has a chance of wildfires and earthquakes. The city is near several active fault lines, and the windy area makes the threat of wildfires more serious. To lessen the damage from these natural disasters, the city ensures that buildings meet current construction code standards, that debris is removed from around homes and that water reserves are kept above a minimum.
