The Coachella Valley is an extremely active area for horse lovers. The East Valley in particular offers lots of open land, BLM land, a myriad of trails, riding clubs, and of course the HITS circuit and the International Polo Circuit. HITS Thermal is an A rated horseshow, running from January through March. The Sunshine series is in November, and includes competition for ponies. The Polo is spectacular as well…

Coachella Music Festivals Fall Events???
The Coachella Music Festivals in Indio, California look very likely to add a few more Fall events to their Festival schedule. Fall events could help our Coachella Valley expand the tourism season a few more months, and attract even more visitors to the Valley. Because I sell Condos, Homes, and Farms, which are often used as Luxury Lease properties during the Festival times, this makes even more sense to Buyers! If you are thinking about purchasing an Investment property, that could be used as a Lease property during the Festivals, give me a call at 760-285-3578.

Ferris Wheel at the Coachella Music Festival!
The Coachella Music Festival is officially ready to rock! This Internationally renowned Festival always gathers an eclectic collection of upcoming and established stars, then brings them to the beautiful Coachella Valley. The Music Festival Line up for 2016 is HERE! The Music Festival has become an integral part of our Valley, pretty much putting the city of Indio on the radar. 13 years ago, being a local, I would never have believed that people would not only know where Indio, California is, but would purchase property in the surrounding areas FOR their music festival visits! The Music Festival has also created a huge demand for Luxury Lease properties, further driving up the demand for Coachella Valley properties in Indio, and the Coachella Valley in general.

International field at Eldorado Polo Club, Indio
Polo in the Coachella Valley; What’s the BIG deal? When I came to the desert over 30 years ago, I was a groom, hoping to one day be able to play polo professionally. I was overwhelmed by the scope of the Eldorado Polo Club at that time. It seemed to my eyes, that the fields went on and on, horses were everywhere, and Polo was the Valley’s Sport! What a dummy. In my small world of Polo and horses, EVERYONE knew about the club. In reality, when I meet with clients to show them property 30 years later, it is the rare individual that knows about our amazing East Valley horse Industry, and how it contributes to our Coachella Valley economy.

Indio has some beautiful rural areas
5 of my favorite things about Indio, California! The City of Indio is one of our Eastern cities in the Coachella Valley. Having lived in Indio more than once in my 30+ years as a desert local, I know firsthand that there are some FUN things to do and see in this “City of Festivals.”
Indio used to be called “The Hub bub of the Valley.” That was the actual City Jingle!! That was in the 80’s. It is no longer considered the Hub Bub, but that’s more because our other Central Valley cities have grown too. Especially La Quinta, our newest City, which has experienced phenomenal growth. Back to Indio..here are 5 of my most Favorite things about Indio, California.
