If you’re not a U.S. native and are considering an international real estate transaction, then it’s very likely you’re considering real estate and homes for sale in areas such as Palm Desert, Indian Wells or La Quinta. This makes sense, as the cities in Palm Springs Valley boast a broad range of amenities that culminate in a lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation.
In this post, we’re going to focus on lovely Palm Desert. In addition to the myriad golf tournaments and athletic events that take place here, there are plenty recreational activities, from relaxing poolside, wine tasting or shopping to hiking, cycling or horseback riding. Here are just a few things to do, that you can even squeeze in during a break from browsing homes for sale in Palm Desert.
1. Take in some art while you shop. Head to the uber chic el Paseo shopping district on the first Thursday of each month to scope out some of the exquisite art showcased in the dozens of unique galleries.
2. Be a foodie. Whether you’re a culinary aficionado or novice, you’ll love dining al fresco under the palms at one of the many excellent cafes. There is a bevy of fine dining options to choose from any day of the week, and plenty of opportunities to taste wine from some of the stellar California wineries, some of which are very close to Palm Springs Valley.
3. Get pampered. Feeling stressed from trying to navigate your international real estate transaction? Palm Desert offers the chance to revitalize your mind and body at one of its many upscale spas. Luxuriate for the day or a more extended period of time at the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Spa, Shadow Mountain Resort & Club or one of the other options in close proximity.
4. Take in some architecture. There are a multitude of mid-century modern homes and exquisite public buildings designed by famed architects including William Krisel, Albert Frey and Walter White.
5. Play outdoors. Palm Desert is nestled in the beautiful foothills of our gorgeous mountain ranges and is just a short drive away from world-famous Joshua Tree National Park, which has a wide array of picturesque hiking trails. Palm Desert is also home to several beautiful, impeccably maintained parks and the remarkable Palm Desert Aquatic Center.
