And, of course, La Quinta has great restaurants, good shopping, schools, food stores, gas stations, churches (to ask for help with your putting or your stock portfolio) and all of the other stuff (a nifty spa and excellent fitness centers) that are necessary to have a city where real life can be conducted when you are not on the course or at the clubhouse. For the serious shopping you will want to visit El Paseo in Palm Desert…our little Rodeo Drive in the desert.

In addition, Indian Wells, Palm Desert (Gold Card Country), Rancho Mirage (Say hello to President Ford) and Palm Springs (Elvis sightings are still a religious experience here) are conveniently located right up Highway 111 from the epicenter in La Quinta if you ever need to migrate to visit friends or pick up a postcard to say that you have visited these elegant desert resort cities.
