Desert Palisades

A Private Gated Community Above Palm Springs

The final modern enclave offering uninterrupted views of the city, mountains, and Chino Canyon.

Limited homesites available.

Set high above the city, Desert Palisades is the final gated community offering uninterrupted views of Palm Springs, the surrounding mountains, and Chino Canyon.

Intentionally limited. Elevated. Quiet.

A small number of homesites remain, with lot values from approximately $800,000 to $1.7 million. Completed residences typically reach $5 million and above.

Homes may be built from existing architectural plans or designed in collaboration with the architect of your choosing.

The Setting

At the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, the community feels removed yet connected. Downtown Palm Springs and the broader Coachella Valley remain just minutes away.

Light, space, and open desert define the experience from morning through nightfall.

Architecture

Design guidelines emphasize modern materials, efficiency, and a strong relationship between indoor and outdoor space.

Each residence is conceived as a long-term home, shaped by restraint and responsiveness to the desert environment.

A Limited Community

With a finite number of residences, Desert Palisades prioritizes privacy, open space, and preservation of the surrounding landscape.

Calm. Considered. Discreet.

Private inquiries are welcome.
