LA QUINTA
A SLICE OF PARADISE
La Quinta, the 'Gem of the Desert,' is a golfer's paradise. Picture-perfect skies meet endless fairways across 26 championship courses, from beginner-friendly greens to the iconic PGA West - the 'Western Home of Golf in America.' PGA West is the host of the PGA Tour's annual American Express Golf Tournament (formerly the Bob Hope Classic), and its nine, professional golfer-designed courses are where legends are made.
Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate La Quinta's scenic hiking trails in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains, while art lovers can explore a vibrant arts community, alive with public murals, sculpture, and events like Arts of Main Street and the four-day La Quinta Art Celebration, a contemporary fine art and crafts festival
Centrally located, La Quinta offers a well-developed shopping and service corridor of national retailers, but it's the charming boutiques and romantic restaurants of Old Town La Quinta that truly capture the community's heart and soul.
​
Spanish-style haciendas, Mediterranean revival homes, and poolside condos dot the landscape of La Quinta's subdivisions and gated communities. A celebrity hideaway for over a century, La Quinta is experiencing a renaissance with a new generation of Hollywood elite. The exclusive Madison Club, a lavish, members-only residential community, counts Justin Bieber, Apple CEO Tim Cook, the Kardashians (Kris, Kourtney, and Kylie), Adele, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and Nike’s Phil Knight among its residents. While estates in The Madison Club range from a million to 40-millon dollars, the average cost for a single-family home in La Quinta is $850,000.
A beautiful and serene sanctuary, it's easy to see why Academy Award-winning Director Frank Capra found inspiration here for his screenplay Lost Horizon. La Quinta truly is Shangri-La!

A prominent landmark overlooking La Quinta, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is an incredible example of a basilica-style church, reminiscent of the Romanesque architecture of the 12th century. Designed by acclaimed Film Director, Franco Zeffirelli, construction of the church would not have been possible without the support of its many celebrity parishioners including Frank Sinatra, Frank Capra, and Bob Hope.
Located in the Fred Wolff Nature Preserve, this 4.8-mile, moderately challenging trail is popular with walkers, joggers, cyclists and four-legged friends who want to explore the natural beauty of the Southern Santa Rosa Mountains.
Located 6 miles southeast of Old Town La Quinta at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park is the perfect spot for a family adventure.
