About Desert Palms

Desert Palms is a census-designated place in eastern Riverside County, in the Coachella Valley. It sits in the Colorado Desert at low elevation, near the resort and retirement communities that spread east from Palm Springs. Desert Palms is not a traditional town with a historic center; it is more a residential desert community shaped by golf courses, gated neighborhoods, washes, and mountain views. It feels sunny, dry, and deliberately residential, with daily life tied to the broader Palm Desert and Indio area.
