Framed by the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta offers a quieter, upscale living environment where desirable neighborhoods are intertwined with golf courses, natural open space, high-end shopping and dining, and the historic Waldorf Astoria La Quinta Resort and Club.
Providing a low-key hideaway for the wealthy and famous, La Quinta is exceptionally beautiful, with swaying palm trees, colorful landscaping and blue skies complementing activities that include world-class tennis, championship golf, polo, and hiking and biking.
Originally an agricultural community, La Quinta, known as the Gem of the Desert, began its transformation in 1926, when entrepreneur Walter Morgan founded the La Quinta Resort and tempted Hollywood’s elite and others seeking a place away from it all. The resort’s famed golf course was the first in the Coachella Valley and led to the creation of many others in the region.
From exclusive gated communities, historic neighborhoods and newer attached-home collections to magazine-worthy modern residences designed to capture the essence of contemporary living, La Quinta has a home for nearly every lifestyle. La Quinta Cove provides classic desert style, while private communities, including The Madison Club, La Quinta Country Club and Hideaway, present a prestigious setting.
Enjoy the outdoors while dining and shopping at Old Town La Quinta, or discover the many restaurants and boutiques throughout the city. The La Quinta Museum is always showcasing a part of the Valley’s history, and the popular Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals are favorite events every spring.
