Small Town Friendly And Relaxing
With its small-town friendliness, La Quinta is a peaceful and relaxing community.

However, La Quinta is also a year-round, recreational and destination resort community enjoyed by visitors and residents alike.
La Quinta’s average age, 36 make its population a bit younger than most desert cities. La Quinta’s real estate developments are also newer than those of most valley cities. Homes for sale in La Quinta aren't just for snowbirds as a growing number of people are making La Quinta their year-round residence.
In the coming years it is likely that the La Quinta intersection of Washington and Hwy 111 will become the new center of the Coachella Valley as real estate development continues eastward towards the Salton Sea.
