When you’re considering buying a home anywhere in the Palm Spring region, from Indio or Palm Desert to properties in Indian Wells or Rancho Mirage, it helps to get to know the area and what some of the popular activities and things to do are. Here are what many residents tell us are some of their favorites!
Do nothing. When you’re searching for Palm Springs homes for sale, you probably should get a feel for the lifestyle—and one of the favorite things to do among both visitors and residents of this bucolic desert town is: nothing. The Palm Springs tourism bureau will even tell you that visitors regularly say that they plan to do a whole lot of nothing during their stay in Palm Springs. What this actually means is a lot of relaxing, most likely including sunbathing, some rounds of golf and games of tennis, and just enjoying time with family. There’s a reason residents and owners of properties in Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert say it feels like they’re on vacation all year long.
Feeling daring? There are some cool adventures you can do in Palm Springs, and ones that are unrivaled in any other part of the country. For example, Desert Adventures offers tours of the San Andreas Fault that allows you to do something very few people have the opportunity to do—stand smack in the middle of the actual fault. You can also visit an authentic desert oasis created by the fault and learn multitudes about nature.
Tour the famed windmills. Whether you’re looking for Palm Springs homes for sale or coming for a vacation, it’s impossible to miss the famed windmills along Interstate 10. Why not take a tour of these enormous wind-powered turbines that generate electricity? It’s the perfect way to learn what they do and how they work, and interesting whether you’re a tech fan or a nature aficionado.
