I bought my first house here in 2015 and became a snowbird from the Washington DC area. After looking at communities throughout the cities in the Coachella Valley, I decided on Sun City Palm Desert for several reasons. The gorgeous grounds were so well maintained it was a pleasure to come home every day. The HOA really cares about the residents! Our dues are some of the lowest in the Coachella Valley, and have stayed low, with few small increases since I purchased here.
This community is in the Imperial Irrigation District for electric service, with rates MUCH LOWER than other parts of this valley. And that shows up on lower summer AC bills!
I love all the clubs! Every interest I have is fulfilled and getting to know people has been really easy because everyone is very friendly. I made the commitment to live here full time in January 2022 and I am sooooo glad I did! You won’t be disappointed when you decide to live here either!

5 stars

We bought our home 4 years ago and are so happy with our choice of Sun City. We love the life style that Sun City offers, it’s like living at a resort. The grounds are beautiful, the price of the HOA is the best around, the amenities of golf, swimming, tennis, pickle ball, the gym plus so may clubs you can keep as busy as you like or of course just do nothing and relax. We drive around the community in our golf cart, visiting friends, going out to dinner in the restaurants on site or just making a stop at the post office.

5 stars

I have lived in this beautiful community for 11 years. The property is well maintained. The homes are beautiful. We have two professional 18 hole golf courses, pickleball, & tennis. 60+ clubs for every interest.

5 stars

I bought a home in Sun City Palm Desert in the summer of 2017 and could not be happier. The community is beautiful – well maintained and developed. The HOA fees are low, especially considering what you get – premium cable and internet, three clubhouses, two 18 hole golf courses, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce ball, a softball field and much, much more. The activities and clubs are almost endless, from sports to crafts to hobbies to cards to social activities. The people are very friendly and there are so many opportunities to meet and socialize with your neighbors. The community recently received the Medallion award from the Community Associations Institute (CAI). It is a national organization with over 800 members in the Coachella Valley alone. A community must meet over 70 benchmarks to be eligible and Sun City is now one of only four in the state and the first 55+ community to be awarded this status, which means we have been recognized as a preferred place to live. This was the best decision I’ve ever made!

5 stars

My husband and I moved here 5 years ago and have never had one regret. The people are welcoming, the association well run and the community is immaculately maintained. There are enough many clubs and activities to meet the interests of any new resident.
