Amenities fit for a star

In the 1930s, a group of Hollywood studios began to implement what came to be known as “the two-hour rule,” which required actors to live within two hours’ drive of Hollywood. The rationale was that, if they were needed for an urgent need, they could be back at the studio in a reasonable amount of time. At a distance of 120 miles from Hollywood, the city of Palm Springs met that requirement, and it soon became a haven for Hollywood royalty seeking a sanctuary from their daily lives. Today, the Palm Springs Villas II neighborhood, composed of 473 condominium units, continues that tradition by offering residents resort-like amenities within a gated community that is next to Highway 111 and less than 4 miles from Interstate 10. Situated in the northwestern tip of Palm Springs, the neighborhood affords residents views of the San Jacinto Mountains to the west and easy access to the Palm Springs International Airport less than 6 miles to the southeast. “Buyers in Palm Springs Villas II tend to be a mix of full-time homeowners, vacation home buyers and investors,” says Realtor Alla Vinnik, who has more than a decade of experience representing transactions in the area.

Having fun in that warm Palm Springs sun

The Rivieras sang about having fun in the warm California sun in the 1960s, and Palm Springs Villas II embodies that ethos. The complex offers residents exclusive access to a variety of recreational amenities, including multiple heated swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard and more than 25 acres of open professionally landscaped greenspace. Outside of the complex’s gates, Victoria Park is less than 2 miles away, with a playground, a volleyball court, picnic tables and picnic shelters with nearby grills. To get off the beaten path, residents can head to the North Lyken Trailhead 2 miles to the south. The 4.3-mile trail offers excellent opportunities for bird-watching, and it is very popular with area runners and hikers. For indoor workouts, Steel Gym is 3 miles away, offering group fitness classes, individual workouts and personal training.

Quick drive to downtown attractions

Tower Market is a mile away on San Rafael Drive when residents need to stock up on groceries. For any home necessities, Walmart Supercenter is 7 miles away in The Springs shopping mall, where residents also have access to several other retailers, including Home Depot, Ross and Ulta Beauty. Downtown Palm Springs is 3 miles south of the neighborhood, and there residents can find a wide array of shopping and dining opportunities. Haus of Poke is a favorite spot for fresh Japanese salad custom-made to diners’ specific orders. “It’s close to everything Palm Springs has to offer,” says Villa. “Great restaurants, great shopping and great entertainment are all less than 10 minutes away.”
