Its incredible how a great desert in southern California could host such a paradise. Palm Springs is a green mecca in the center of unlivable scorching surroundings. My first visit years ago introduced me to the city. Spending a couple days exploring, you'll soon discover that the "strip" is unlike any other downtown area. Populated by mostly tourists, the shopping district is lively and entertaining 7 days a week. Restaurants are glamorous and surprisingly affordable, and entertainment is everywhere. Outside of the city are the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north, the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south, and the San Jacinto Mountains to the west. Joshua Tree National Park is also within driving distance for a day of fun. Hiking and camping are everywhere, as is some of the best golf courses in the nation.
Not only is this a great place to visit for all these obvious reasons, but Palm Springs is a great place to live for many others. Affordable housing, a growing economy (yes I just said that), and 354 days of sun on average greet those who call the area home. World class theatres and shopping centers, its hard to see why anyone would leave. Some say it gets too hot. (The temperature can reach and stay 115 degrees for several months during the summer.) However the way I see it, any other city has its cold spells that you need to stay inside for, here you have a warm spell that is easily cured by a/c that is found everywhere. Plus, whats not to like about an average temperature of 70 degrees in December? Palm Springs has my vote, and I will be calling it home come this January.
...and that has been Established.
