Palm Springs is an outstanding resort city located in the desert area of Southern California.

Now the entire metro area of Palm Springs has evolved with dining and entertaining options for all ages, but it continues to be an attractive place for retirees. 

Palm Springs offers a variety of outdoor and indoor activities, and is known for its mid-century architecture, serene natural beauty, hiking, and sparkling pools.
