The Lakes Homes for Rent

The Lakes neighborhood in Palm Desert is a gated community known for its stunning views and extensive amenities, making it a standout in the Coachella Valley. Established in the early 1980s, it features 23 freshwater lakes and a mix of ranch-style and Spanish-style homes. These homes, ranging from 1,300 to 4,600 square feet, are predominantly one-story and offer modern interiors. The neighborhood is surrounded by tall palm and shade trees, providing a scenic backdrop for the 27-hole golf course and other recreational facilities. Residents enjoy access to a newly renovated clubhouse, fitness center, tennis courts, and two dog parks. The Lakes is served by the highly rated Desert Sands Unified School District, with James Earl Carter Elementary, Palm Desert Charter Middle, and Palm Desert High School all within a short drive. While the area lacks local grocers, nearby neighborhoods offer convenient shopping and dining options, such as Ralph’s Fresh Fare and Cork Tree. The Lakes is safer than the national average, and its location provides easy access to Interstate 10, placing Los Angeles within a two-hour drive. The Coachella Valley Preserve, just 8 miles away, offers additional natural attractions for residents to explore.
