The Chateau at Lake La Quinta. The Chateau has just undergone a multi-million dollar face lift, and looks unbelievable.

Arnold Palmers’ Restaurant is walking distance away…
Desert Club Estates in La Quinta, Calif. This is a very unique neighborhood. It’s location is brillliant, tucked behind The Citrus Golf Club and across the street from The Tradition Golf Club. Put on your tennis, grab your bike, or jump into your Golf Cart and head to Silver Rock Resort, Arnold Palmers’ Restaurant, Old Town La Quinta, Fritz Burns park for a game of Tennis. Behind the wall on the corner of Washington and 52nd lies this non-gated, non-golf course community with NO monthly HOA’s!
What I love the best about this “hole in the wall” desert community, is the location. You can literally walk across Washington at Tampico, and head to the La Quinta Library, take a Yoga class at the Yoga studio, take a stroll through the park like grounds of the La Quinta Civic Center, hit the new Wellness Center, or head on to Old town La Quinta to shop or grab a meal. Biking is another way to get around. If you want exercise, head across 52nd to the Fritz Burns Park, where there are public Tennis courts, a public Pool, or watch the kids in the Skate Park. Hiking? Just head up Bermudas to the Top of the Cove, where there are several Trail heads, and head out. Golf at the public Silverrock course, or several nearby other public golf courses.

La Quinta Cove; known for diversity
La Quinta Cove; A favorite of Locals and Visitors. The “Cove”, as Locals refer to it, has been a favorite of mine since my Polo playing days. When I, and maybe one or two other players needed a seasonal place to stay, we almost always chose the La Quinta Cove. We could find a nice home, in a beautiful area, that was reasonably priced, and just far enough away from the Polo fields to give us a bit of autonomy. It still remains a favorite today. The Cove is an eclectic collection of single family homes, approx. 1200 of them, that hug the base of the mountains in one of the prettiest Coves in the desert.
No HOA’s here, and it’s very obvious! Homes can be any architectural style, and a wide range of Colors. The Cove is also home to approx. 28 “Casitas” that were built in the 1930’s – 40’s, and originally sold as retreats for many of Hollywood’s celebrities of the time. Classic adobe, with red tile roofs, white stucco walls, and original wood doors, the original Casitas were built in the style of the La Quinta Hotel, and are still much in demand.

The Citrus Golf Club in La Quinta offers location and Views!
La Quinta Neighborhood of the week: The Citrus Golf Club. People are back in force. Our winter residents are returning to our beautiful desert for the winter months. Holidays are just around the corner, Listings are becoming more plentiful, and the over seeding of our Golf Courses and Polo Fields is raging! If you have been thinking of buying on a Golf Course in La Quinta, be sure to check out The Citrus Golf Club.
Buying on a Golf Course can sometimes mean you HAVE to purchase a membership. You don’t at The Citrus. The Citrus Golf Club has it’s own private Pete Dye course, and a recently remodeled clubhouse with fitness center, but The Citrus is also part of the La Quinta Hotel Club & Spa. That means that it is possible to use the amenities at the La Quinta Spa, and play the public courses. One of the things I hear often from buyers that I show The Citrus Golf Club to is, “The HOA’s are so reasonable!” The monthly Homeowners association is only $335/month. Very reasonable for a Golf Course development in La Quinta.

Vegetarian dining option? Haven’t tried them!
Vegetarian Dining in the desert, means you have to be a little creative. There aren’t that many hard core Vegetarian restaurants and dining options available, especially in our East Cities of La Quinta and Indio. There are several strictly Veggie places in Palm Springs and Palm Desert however. Luscious Lorraines which is inside Harvest Health Foods in Palm Desert. The incredibly popular Native Foods in Palm Springs. Do not dispair locals in the East Valley. The great news is that nearly every restaurant you go to at this point offers variations, or their chef’s are open to “vegetarian changes” that you may request. Why not? It probably saves them money, substituting Tofu, or Soy/vegetable products for meat.

LA QUINTA’S GOLD MINE OF A GOLF CLUB – THE QUARRY
The Quarry at La Quinta offers an exclusive desert lifestyle
La Quinta’s golf community The Quarry is quite unique… and there are many reasons why it has been recognized by Travel and Leisure Magazine as one of America’s top golf communities. If you’ve ever visited The Quarry, you would immediately understand. Its picturesque location, nestled in a cove at the base of the Coral and Santa Rosa Mountains on an old mining site, creates an allure and feeling of total exclusivity, privacy and security. This is where Native Americans roamed and the Old West once flourished. Life-size bronze sculptures strategically placed around the property artfully pay homage to the land’s history.
Hidden up a curving entrance road, the Fazio designed golf course at The Quarry cuts a dramatic oasis-like swath up the cove… with manicured fairways and four lakes, streams and waterfalls encircled by lush indigenous landscaping. Owning a home at The Quarry is a privilege unlike anywhere else in the Palm Springs Valley.

La Quinta Country Club’s spectacular clubhouse offers stunning views of the Santa Rosa Mountains
La Quinta Country Club has a long standing history of tradition and excellence, founded in 1959 by a group who wanted to create a Country Club like none other in the Palm Springs Valley at that time. And that’s exactly what they did by turning 130 acres of raw desert into a championship golf course in just 8 short months. By 1962, the USA Championships were held at La Quinta Country Club, bringing TV coverage that put the course in the limelight and eventually attracted the Palm Springs Golf Classic (later to become the Bob Hope Classic) to the Club.
LA QUINTA COUNTRY CLUB LEGACY
Originally, the golf course at LQCC was built solely for the La Quinta Resort. In 1971, it was purchased by its members and became a private equity club. Its original clubhouse, a spacious Mediterranean style structure completed in 1966, was damaged by a series of earthquakes and was eventually rendered unusable. In its place now stands a stunning new clubhouse facility where members can play some of the best golf in the Palm Springs Valley, socialize and participate in a myriad of activities and enjoy the finest dining offering California Cuisine. Keep in mind that the LQCC is member financed, owned and managed… assuring their tradition of excellence is kept high.
