My wife and I are in our early 50's and bought our 'retirement' condo in Palm Springs nearly a year ago. We've got 2 teenagers finishing HS in the next couple years here in KC and then we are escaping the humidity and landlocked nature of living in the midwest. I'll take my Chiefs fandom with me.
We find PS to be much less 80's and more cool vibe with a strong population of 40 thru 60 somethings with plenty of cash for fun dining and architectural inclinations. Main street has had a tonne of money flow in and is pretty chic, with a new Andaz hotel underway though that and nearly everything else under construction has ground to a halt with Covid going on.
We love the weather, condo life, a pool outside our window, and the step off point that it is to 4-5 other states outside Cali, and that's without the incredible variety of geography and things to do within the State. We always make trips to Colorado and Utah either on the way out or once there and looking to take some road trips.
The town of PS is dropped into the midst of stunning surrounding mountains (though super arid) with walking trails and offroading experiences etc in abundance.
We're absolutely on fire to move out there.
Paid 385K for 1585sqft townhouse style condo, 2 blocks off the main strip.
