Mid- to high-tier housing stock caters to seasonal residents and those enjoying life off the clock. A growing service sector, rising property values, and access to parks, hiking, and outdoor activities only add to its appeal.

In 1986, Palm Desert became the first city in Riverside County to adopt a public arts ordinance, requiring developers to incorporate artwork into public projects or pay a fee. The city’s Public Art Department oversees the placement and maintenance of these installations, which include large-scale sculptures, murals, and other creative works.

Now

In 2024, construction began on DSRT Surf, a next-generation surf park poised to open in 2026 adjacent to Desert Willow. Part resort, part outdoor playground, the project centers around a 5-acre surf lagoon powered by Wavegarden Cove technology, delivering ocean-like waves for surfers of all levels — with net-zero water use. Plans also include a 92-key boutique hotel and 57 high-end detached residential villas.
