If there ever was a perfect place to retire, the city of La Quinta is as close as it gets. For the sheer beauty, joy and year-round entertainment it can’t be beat. But even more, it is a wonderful sanctuary in which to refresh the body, mind and spirit.
Most of us know when it’s time to look for a new or different life, lifestyle or home that reflects our current needs. It could come from a change in personal status, a recent retirement, desire to develop a latent talent, or an urge to getaway to refresh our batteries.
For some, it may be a need to reconnect with our inner selves, the natural world, or rekindle relationships with people or spiritual activities most important to us. For others, it may be a move for health or physical reasons, or to reconnect with family members.
But, moving to a new area, even if you are happy and excited can be daunting if you don’t know much about it, and especially if the environment is radically different. Finding the perfect desert home, location and lifestyle can take time.
In the Greater Palm Springs area for example, there are many different cities: Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio. Each is amazing, but all are uniquely different in their offerings of housing and lifestyles, environment, culture, entertainment, and sports.
This I know: If you have a pioneer spirit, moving is an adventure, and the unknown is fun. But for those that prefer staying put, making a move, even to a beautiful and better home and lifestyle, can be very stressful.
My husband and I retired from the Seattle area to Trilogy at La Quinta, a 55+ golf community. Prior to our move, we researched the area extensively, and for many years we vacationed there.
Still, owning a home and living there is very different than what we thought. Coming from a damp environment to a dry, warm one has its own issues. Here’s a big hint: Don’t leave your lipstick on the front seat of the car ladies. It becomes a puddle.
It would be my pleasure to give you a personal tour of our beautiful city, it’s amenities, exquisite homes, lifestyles, and rich history.
Or, peruse my website. There you will find a great deal of information, and a powerful search engine to give you insight into the many styles of homes, and pricing.
Also, call me for a complimentary booklet on homes, lifestyles and entertainment of the City of La Quinta and nearby cities of the Greater Palm Springs desert.
