The city of la quinta has some amazing housing opportunities
City of La Quinta fiscal updates: The city of La Quinta just held it’s 13th community workshop, and surprise to nobody, the city is financially sound and well positioned to handle economic downturns, natural disasters or other unforeseen events. Local resident and agent, Kim Kelly lives and sells in La Quinta, 760-285-3578.
The city of La Quinta is ranked #7 out of 410 cities ranked by California Policy Center’s Fiscal Health Dashboard, putting it in the top 2% nationwide, and the ONLY city in the Coachella Valley ranked in the top 10! I live here in La Quinta, and have for many years. I show and sell in all the desert cities and appreciate it’s uniqueness, but La Quinta is just so pretty, and open.
- IID: New substations are moving forward. Cost share agreements are coming for the City and developers for the Ave. 58 substation, scheduled for completion in 2028.
- Affordable housing: The city has 3 parcels near 111 slated for up to 587 affordable housing units. Cost is approx. $700,000/door, so not a small expense
- Fritz Burns Park improvements are mostly complete or near to complete. What a beautiful park with lap pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and walkable to Old Town La Quinta.
- Road improvement projects: Next summer will see the more improvements, and Hwy 111 was done last summer. Resurfacing in the La Quinta cove is ongoing.
Take a tour of this gorgeous La Quinta home that sold, but there are many more available in this gorgeous city!

La Quinta offers gated and non gated communities.
What sets the City of La Quinta apart? All the Coachella Valley cities have something special and unique about them. I live in La Quinta, and chose it specifically for it’s proximity to the more rural East Valley, because of my horses and it’s proximity to both the polo fields and the showgrounds. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Coachella Valley, give Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.
What sets the City of La Quinta apart from the other Coachella Valley cities for me, is that it’s our youngest city, and also offers a blend of housing choices as well as loads of things to do. For outdoorsy people, we have great hiking, spectacular mountain and desert views, different golf courses to play, Tennis gardens for tennis and pickleball, and close proximity to motorsports, equestrian sports and private air travel. When I moved her in the late 80’s, I could drive from Indian Wells to the polo fields in Indio in about 15 minutes! As we’ve grown, so has traffic and population, but because the East Valley is wide open, it still feels open and welcoming.
La Quinta has become a celebrity haven. The Reserve and Big Horn have competition with La Quinta’s Madison Club. Madison Club prices have been zooming up. This exclusive, private, security intense, golf community is a favorite amongst the elite, including the Hollywood set. Prices range from approx. 3 mil for Villas, when they come up. to custom homes upward of 30 million.
Interestingly enough, there are still plenty of very affordable living choices, such as the La Quinta Cove, Highland Palms, Desert Club Estates, and condos and smaller homes at many of the golf course communities. I can find you plenty to look at in your price point! Take a tour of this gorgeous, custom fairway home that I listed and sold at Indian Palms CC, (located on the West border of Indio, contiguous to La Quinta), in 30 days. Give me a call at 760-285-3578.

Local resident and agent, Kim Kelly 760-285-3578.
La Quinta offers some unique things that I really love about living here. You’ve got great hiking and biking all over, especially around the cove. Fritz Burns Park has tennis, pickleball, a great lap pool, and easy access to old town La Quinta. 44 years young, La Quinta will have a birthday celebration this year. There are some new eateries, Chick-fil-a, The Golf Bar, Kitchen Ten Eleven, and there’s also the Sports Warehouse for tennis enthusiasts.
The City of La Quinta is also offering a refreshed identity for both residents and the city. The City is investing in key improvements in several areas, including the Fritz Burns Park Improvement Project. There will be increased shade and new amenities including..

La Quinta’s Silverrock has been SOLD again!
La Quinta’s SilverRock has been SOLD again! This poor place, so spectacular in it’s location, views, nearness to Old Town, the golf course is gorgeous..good grief, it’s just been one thing after another, but it appears it’s SOLD again! Us locals sure do hope it’s finally found it’s owner that is actually going to develop and finish it! Local resident and agent, Kim Kelly at 760-285-3578.
After years of delays and legal stuff, SilverRock may soon have new life! Woohoo! A bankruptcy judge approved a $65 million sale of the property to Turnbridge Equities. (Desert Sun Newspaper)
I’ve lived in La Quinta for over 25 years, and every time I drive by it, or stop to hit golf balls, or play a round with friends, I keep hoping that this time it’s for real. The long delayed project to bring another luxury resort to La Quinta has been stuck in bankruptcy court since August 2024. The previous owner, SilverRock Development Company filed for bankruptcy. That project had been going on since 2014. I stopped in years ago to check it out for clients and met with the developer, Mr. Green. When he told me the proposed price points and HOA’s, I had a bad feeling. Hideaway, the Tradition, Mountain View and PGA are all well established golf resorts and SilverRock has to be competitive with their pricing to get people in. Anyway, here’s to hoping it gets rolling!!
