Is Indio, California the next “hub” of the Coachella Valley?

Indio offers some of the BEST Land, Equestrian and Housing values in the Coachella Valley.

Is Indio, California the next “hub” of the Coachella Valley?  It certainly  feels like it may be!  When I first came to Indio, in the mid 1980’s, the jingle for the city went something like “It’s the hub-bub of the valley…it’s Indio, Indio, In-D-O”  That about knocked us down because the only people that even knew where Indio was, were the Polo Players, or locals.  The City of Festivals, Indio, offers some of the best remaining Land Values in the Coachella Valley.  Because Land is still relatively cheap, Equestrian Estates, and Residential options are also less pricey than in the central and Western Valley cities.
