Top neighborhoods in Palm Desert

Cahuilla Hills

Cahuilla Hills delivers mountain views and desert luxury without the tourist hustle. This upscale Palm Desert neighborhood sits peacefully against the Santa Rosa Mountains, where hiking trails and mountain vistas await. Your days might include morning strolls through carefully manicured desert landscapes or adventures to the nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. Luxurious vacation rentals with private pools dominate the accommodation scene, offering your own desert oasis. A rental car is essential for exploring Palm Desert's dining and shopping options along El Paseo or Highway 111, just a short drive away.

El Paseo Village

El Paseo Village brings the glitz of Rodeo Drive to Palm Desert with designer boutiques and world-class art galleries lining palm-shaded walkways. Fashionistas browse luxury shops like Gucci while art lovers discover new treasures in upscale galleries. The Mediterranean-inspired architecture creates the perfect backdrop for seasonal events like Fashion Week, and beautiful sculpture gardens offer artistic surprises around every corner. Fine dining restaurants and wine bars serve up California cuisine with mountain views from elegant patios. Though there's limited public transit, the wide walkways make strolling between shops a pleasure, and free parking makes visits stress-free. Golf cart rentals provide a fun way to explore this desert oasis of luxury.

Bighorn

Bighorn offers an exclusive slice of Palm Desert luxury where championship golf meets stunning mountain backdrops. Two world-class courses wind through desert landscapes with San Jacinto Mountain views that'll make your jaw drop. The private clubhouse serves up panoramic vistas while you relax after your round, and nearby hiking trails beckon adventure seekers wanting to explore the national monument. Getting around requires wheels—this gated community values privacy above all else. The clubhouse dishes out upscale American cuisine worth the splurge, while accommodations range from multi-million dollar estates to private villas complete with pools and personal concierge service.

The Gardens on El Paseo offers high-end retail therapy and peaceful spots to rest between shopping adventures. Dining options range from California cuisine to sophisticated steakhouses with desert-inspired presentations.

The evening scene stays refined with upscale hotel bars and restaurant lounges perfect for unwinding after a sun-soaked day.

Park Palms

Park Palms invites you to slow down and breathe in authentic Palm Desert living. Quiet residential streets make morning walks a pleasure, with mountain views creating perfect backdrops for your desert escape. When you're ready for action, you're just minutes from the Palm Desert Aquatic Center and prestigious golf courses like Desert Willow. This peaceful neighborhood trades tourist attractions for genuine local charm. Most homes feature private pools for cooling off after desert adventures.
