Palm Springs California - Palm Springs, California, not to be confused with Palm Springs anywhere else, is famous first and foremost for its golf resorts and greens. This town of a modest population of under 50,000 is home to such public courses as the Canyon South Golf Course; Desert Falls Country Club; Desert Willow Golf Resort; The Golf Center at Palm Desert; Marriot Shadow Ridge Resort; Mesquite Country Club; Palm Springs Country Club; Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort; and Tommy Jacobs’ Bel Air Greens.
Palm Springs, California, known earlier as the “playground of the Stars,” is also rife with recreation and leisure for any non-golfer, as well. Here, visitors can also hike (the Mount San Jacinto region most amenable for it, with Indian Canyon Cahuilla Indians, The Sierra Club, The Happy Traveler RV Park Community, and the Coachella Valley Hiking Club offering year-round opportunities); swim (at the Palm Springs Swim Center); ride horses (at the Coyote Ridge Stables or the Crazy Horse Ranch); play tennis (the first actual sport in Palm Springs, California, which still reigns supreme at such semi-private places as the Oasis Water Resort Villa, Palm Springs Hilton Racquet Club, Palm Springs Marquis Crowne Plaza Resort, or public courts at DeMuth Park, Mesquite Golf and Country Club, Palm Springs Country Club, or Ruth Hardy Park).
Or you can go on balloon rides (with Balloon Above the Desert or SunBalloon); take Jeep tours (with Desert Adventures’ Red Jeep Tours or Adventure Hummer Desert Tours); and/or attend shopping areas, museums, fairs and festivals-such as the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
For residents of Palm Springs, California this means steady and reliable employment, with arts, recreation, accommodation and food industries leading the opportunities at 22% of the over-all income and with the more traditional—education, health, social services, manufacture, and retail coming in not far behind at thirteen and twelve percents. Over half of the residents work in town, while those commuting only have to scoot a mere twenty one minutes. And while the average income is relatively low, at about 36k a year, the housing is commensurate—with the value of a home averaging a little over 150k.
With a high school diploma (which 81 percent of the residents have) or higher degrees, with a love of the desert, and with an upbeat approach toward hotter temperatures, year-round, you might settle in Palm Springs, California to enjoy the simple life of service to stars…or you might join in the fun of arts, recreation, and desert life exploration.
