It seems obvious that living in a resort city would appeal to everyone—but the allure of Rancho Mirage real estateexpands beyond its resort-like environment and availability of equestrian homes. One of the eight cities of Coachella Valley (aka the Palm Springs area), it’s nestled between Palm Desert and Cathedral City, a centralized location that provides convenient access to all the desert cities.
Formally established in 1973, settlements in Rancho Mirage actually date all the way back to the 1920s. However, it became a playground to the rich and famous after World War II, when famous philanthropists Walter and Leonore Annenberg opened their Sunnylands retreat to visitors such as Bob Hope, Fed Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Frank Sinatra and even several presidents, including Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.
Fast forward to present day—Rancho Mirage is a modern day city that enjoys both yearlong and seasonal populations who ascribe to its sunny weather, lush greenery and elegant atmosphere. With 12 incredible golf courses, stunning canyons and a cultured community, it’s no wonder that Rancho Mirage real estate is in demand. It’s the perfect place for equestrian homes, seasonal dwellings, and stunning abodes overlooking one of the beautifully manicured golf courses.
