Imagine warm days, velvet nights, lavender- to mocha-colored mountains splayed against turquoise skies. Dense displays of wild desert flowers in vibrant hues of rose, pink, and goldenrod heighten your visual senses. Its natural beauty, low humidity, and nearly perfect year-round climate combine to create a seductive siren luring so many to the compelling attraction of the Coachella Valley.
Decades ago, the Hollywood elite created Palm Springs as a destination for fun, sun and relaxation. Since then, nearly 450,000 more have come to create and make 8 additional cities their year-round home. Annually, millions come to see this paradise as a precious jewel in an oasis of shimmering pools, emerald fairways and five-star resorts. From across the country and around the globe, people are discovering this mecca of opportunity and prosperity still embodies the principles of graciousness and style.
But, these aren't the only reasons to come visit. People move here to enjoy this famed lifestyle year-round, from corporate CEOs to young families. Even with its image as a retreat for the rich and famous, this remains an affordable place for all walks-of-life. Every day, more than 50 people move to this desert oasis, home to some of the fastest growing cities in California: La Quinta's growth rate alone was an astounding 74% from 2000 to mid-2006 and the valley's entire population is projected to double in the next ten years.
From the mid-century modern of Palm Springs and the established community resorts in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells, to the new home communities of La Quinta and Indio, Bill & Linda Baughman guide their clients to the best the Valley has to offer. With their "Passion for the Extraordinary" service, they've shown their clients all about the art of fine luxury living.
