Pros and Cons of Living in Palm Desert

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Moving to a new area is a big deal - I hope you enjoy this video about the Pros and Cons of Living in Palm Desert!

My husband and I have been enjoying the Palm Springs area often now for 11 years using a timeshare each year we look forward to our trip we only stay for a couple weeks but it is a nice break from the Pacific Northwest. Don’t forget the street fair every Thursday night downtown a big attraction, thank you enjoyed your video

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

It's so great to hear that you enjoy your time here. It's hard not to with our beautiful weather during the season. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

[@jpinon2013]

Its about 110-120 degrees F during summer. Ac bill is about 300 small home to 2000 larger homes, ac runs all day and night.

[@BaronBoar]

I like Palm Desert because it's always dry and sunny. From the view point of someone in the PNW area in Canada.

[@normdavis3450]

I love Palm Desert! It's part of an ideal triangle, all within a day's trip: San Diego (coast, ocean), Idyllwild (mountains, pines), and Palm Desert (swimming pools, outdoor activities, etc.)!!! I make my rounds frequently throughout the year. The heat in June & July is not a deal breaker. It's actually a nice difference from the other spots - just need a pool or an AC unit nearby. Thanks for the video Brandy! Very informative.

We loved Palm Desert! My wife lived there 27 years and me only 5. We came back to Camarillo to help with my parents, but I see us moving back.

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

I hope to hear from you when you decide to venture back this way. :)

[@dennishough3709]

I lived in Ventura for a few years. Loved it. Oxnard/Camarillo areas are also very nice. But I agree Palm Springs and surrounding areas are awesome in the fall, winter and spring.

[@etjulien]

Camarillo is amazing! I think I would like Palm Desert as well.

[@gasperkosmac7672]

Seems like heaven to me

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

My thoughts exactly! ;)

[@Alazz49]

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@SOffenbach]

This was supposed to be a video of Palm Desert.

[@roxas896]

You can see pro tennis just down the road in Indian Wells.

[@nancygesimondo2744]

Also, the Art scene. The Artist’s Council at the Galen is a must

[@DanielDbroo]

This is one of my favs

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Thanks!

[@alias5152]

Also i find out, if you are into nightlife and such a things, this is not town for you.. I am from Europe and i visited this magnificient place few times and i fall in love in whole region, houses are cheaper than in LA for example ( 2021 ) and is more peaceful to live, people are so nice and calm and i notice in Palm Desert everyone has relax lifestyle, no hurry no stress.. so Palm Desert is perfect for family life.. I highly reccomend everyone to visit this place. Thank you Brandy for this video

[@ruready2rock856]

Helpful video. Thanks. It's so nice to hear you pronounce Palm properly. With the silent "L". Unlike other KZbinrs that talk about the area, some pronounce it like "Pawlm". Drives me crazy lol!

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

That’s very interesting! Thanks for watching :)

[@jeanpierrechevaux454]

to live there is a dream! greetings from France

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Greetings my friend!🇫🇷 🇺🇸

[@pj9375]

Nice video. I live in wet, windswept, cold Great Britain. Not sure I could take the heat, but 350 days of sunshine?? It’s the opposite where I’m sat 😂 good day to you ma’am 😊

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Thanks for sharing! I often wish I could switch places with you all! 😂

[@CitrusandCapri]

A fair list of pros & cons. 😃☀️👌🏽 Love your honesty. P.S.: I could never afford it to live there , but it’s a beautiful place to watch at. ☀️🌼🌸💐💞

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Thank you so much! If you ever think you'd like to visit, I'm your gal. I'd love to show you around! :)

[@kimbloch6326]

[@Jeff-wj4wy]

Indian wells tournament every year huge plus for tennis lovers.

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

[@MartinGonzalez-ct6hd]

How's the nightlife scene?

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Sounds like a topic for another video. ;)

Hi! :)

[@LivinginPalmSprings]

Good information about Palm Desert!

[@iro3952]

Thinking of making the move from LA.. I’m tired of looking at trash, homelessness. and crime in la

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Would love to get in touch with you! :)

[@---un5mt]

What's the cost of installing solar panels? That could get rid of your electricity and gasoline bills!! I mean, nothing but sun all year round.

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Panels can range between $20,000 - to about $30,000 or more. That’s if you buy them outright which is best because then you don’t have a lease payment. Solar makes the most sense if the property is in areas where electricity is more expensive. For instance Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert are all on Edison whereas the rest of the valley is on Imperial Irrigation District which is already at a discounted price. Again purchasing the panels is best over leasing them. I hope that helps!

[@dailysmiles]

I’m visiting. Be our tour guide?

[@SOffenbach]

This looked more like a Palm Springs video.

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

I appreciate the input and thanks for watching. :)

[@TheOCMarc]

PRO: Living in a gated country club with your own private pool overlooking the golf course.🏌️ CON: The HOA costs out there 😢

[@SOffenbach]

Not to mention they're Nazi communist CC&R's.

[@OrieCipollaro]

Very expensive. The HOAs are killing the property values. My HOA for a 600 sqft. Condo is $389.00 I’m on the low side most places are over $500 and I’ve seen them as high as $1,000. With interest rates around 4% your better off buying a private home. I’m in Palm Springs proper Palm Desert is cheaper

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

I like your insight on this. HOA's definitely have a lot of pros and cons.

[@TheOCMarc]

@@BrandyValentineRealEstate thanks for your reply, Brandy. I personally don’t have a problem with HOAs. It just depends what you get for the money (community pool, roof maintenance, etc). But some communities we’ve seen out there have (2) monthly HOA payments (eeeks🤑).

[@mcpadz6295]

Wow so very informative 👍 I like to live there I hope you do the same Sending support here TAIWAN ☺️

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

Hello from across the globe! :)

[@kennixox262]

Looks good but the state income tax is a deal breaker.

[@BrandyValentineRealEstate]

I hear you there, my friend 😅Most people get around that by creating an LLC.

[@42Laj]

​@BrandyValentineRealEstate - But California LLC's are expensive, too. Whether you make a profit or not, you still have to pay $800.00 a year.
