A SLEEPER OF A COMMUNITY IN TALANTE

La Quinta, California is home to a diverse offering of wonderful communities in which to live – gated and non-gated, golf and non-golf, close to shopping and dining and further out of town … each possesses its own sense of place and belonging. When choosing where to buy your home in La Quinta, much depends on what resonates with your own personal lifestyle, needs and desires.

It’s easy to speed right by the understated entrance of the small gated community of Talante without noticing it… but the next time you are close to Avenue 50 and Jefferson St., it would be worthwhile to take time to notice where it is. This small gated enclave of 80 homes offers a uniquely intimate setting with many good reasons to consider making your home there. Talante is a sleeper, so don’t let the understatement fool you!

For one, Talante’s location is ideal, with close proximity to the many nearby shopping and dining opportunities along Hwy. 111 and Old Town La Quinta. There’s a lot of growth taking place in South La Quinta right now – a 12-screen all digital movie theatre is opening in the fall, In and Out Burger and Chick-Fil-a are coming to town, La Quinta Brewing Company will be opening their new tap room in Old Town next month. One doesn’t have to travel far to find first class amenities and fun things to do when living in Talante.

There’s no golf course or clubhouse at Talante, which keeps the HOA fees low – but an impressive array of La Quinta’s many golf courses lie within a 5 to 10 minute drive. Silver Rock Resort, owned by the city of La Quinta, is a breathtakingly beautiful public course practically right around the corner from Talante… and residents receive a discount when playing there. PGA West is only a couple of miles further up the road. It’s all any golfer could hope for.

La Quinta – Palmilla is a desert community built in 2002-06 – sitting just off Avenue 50, west of Jefferson St. It catches your eye, as its exterior wall is painted lovely earth colors compatible with its desert surroundings. it is guard-gated, like so many communities around here are, but what lies inside the artistically designed wrought iron entrance gate is distinctively different and appealing.

Palmilla’s grounds are scattered with over 8 acres of lakes – a beautiful juxtaposition of water to the dry arid desert environs. There are 159 homes here, painted in strong earthy tones of terra cotta, umber and sage. There are interesting architectural features used here such as stacked stone accents, curved exterior walls and artsy courtyard gates – all lending an air of sophistication and class to these homes which range in size from 3,800sf to 4,600sf built on over-sized lots of varying sizes.

Another draw to living in Palmilla is its close proximity to the many restaurants and convenient shopping in La Quinta. It is within walking distance of a drug store, grocery store and restaurants. Residents of this highly sought after address also find their community to be a friendly one. Though there are no country club-type amenities at Palmilla, the upside is that the HOAs are relatively low. Most of the homes here have their own private pools.

Many of Palmilla’s homes are located lakeside, as there are 13 connected lakes running throughout. The landscaping is premier and only serves to enhance the community’s unique architecture. Palmilla received “Best in American Living” designation by the National Association of Home Builders . . . and has also received awards for its desert landscape design.
