Each October, millions of people from around the world begin their annual migration to the Coachella Valley, home of the U.S.’s most favored winter retreats.
Although the better-known cities of Palm Springs, Indian Wells, and Rancho Mirage get most of the attention, the City of La Quinta ticks all the boxes on a desert dweller’s must-have list.
It’s especially so for golfers, as La Quinta is a premier golf destination, home to PGA West and the PGA CareerBuilder Golf Tournament, formerly the Bob Hope Classic.
In La Quinta, there is a dream home and lifestyle for everyone. Houses come in every size and style, from Traditional Spanish Mission, Tuscan, and Mediterranean, to Ultra Contemporary.
Living life seamlessly from indoors to outdoors, from Fall to Spring, is what makes living here so special. Many of La Quinta’s homes feature custom pools, waterfalls and spas, fire pits, built-in barbecues, loggias, putting greens, tennis, Pickleball, and even regulation Bocce courts!
Golf, tennis, and equestrian communities are the most common in La Quinta. Each community offers a unique lifestyle with distinctive design standards that are carried through to the homes, on-site amenities, and common areas. Nearby, there is even a desert water-skiing community, Shadow Lakes Estates, where all the homes are located on a 42-acre ski and sport lake with boat docks.
It’s common for homes to be located behind guarded gates, marked by grand monuments, towering palms, and lush landscaping. Most have a well-appointed central community Clubhouse, complete with a ballroom, snack shop, restaurant, fitness center, pool(s), and other essential amenities based around its particular lifestyle theme.
Once through the gates, most communities are well-manicured and richly landscaped with prickly plants, vibrant flowers, and clusters of stately palms. But it’s Mother Nature that really deserves the applause, as her soaring 8,000-foot coral-colored mountains serve as a breathtaking backdrop to the entire city.
Although personalities and celebrities of every kind make their homes here, La Quinta offers a variety of housing that ranges from affordable to high-end luxury.

While there is a sport for everyone, La Quinta is best known as a championship golf destination.
The Robb Report credits La Quinta as the leading golf destination in the United States. La Quinta Resort and Club, dating to 1926, is where Frank Capra wrote the screenplay for Lost Horizon. The Tom Fazio-designed course at The Quarry at La Quinta is ranked among the top 100 golf courses in the country. The Arnold Palmer Classic Course and SilverRock Golf Resort play host to the annual CareerBuilder Challenge, formerly the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic PGA tournament.
On any given day, the menu of entertainment possibilities is almost endless. Hiking, biking, and swimming are always options, but so too are professional golf, tennis, Empire Club Polo, and high-stakes equestrian competition. By night, things really get fun! After a scrumptious dinner and drinks, people can bike, Uber, or walk to some of the world’s biggest, most renowned arts and music festivals.
Anyone that’s been here will tell you that CoachellaFest, StageCoach Festival, and the La Quinta Arts Festival are electrifying! Area casinos—Fantasy Springs, Spotlight 29, and Augustine Casino—also offer dazzling entertainment, good restaurants, and for a lucky few, a jackpot.
Modernism Week October Preview kicks off the Fall event season, but the valley really begins to rock after the holidays, when from January through April 30, millions of spectators and visitors pour into town. If you want the best seats, you better start buying tickets now.
