Description Above El Paseo: Palm Desert

Perched on a hilltop in South Palm Desert, this community apartment frames the kind of desert sunset you'll want to linger over – mountains fading to silhouette behind a palm-lined horizon, best watched from the shaded patio with a drink in hand. The living room is bright and open, with direct access to that same patio, and a quiet atrium off the third bedroom adds an unexpected retreat when you want a little stillness. Shared heated pools, hot tubs, and tennis and pickleball courts are a short walk away, and El Paseo's shops and The Living Desert Zoo are close by.

Home truths:
* Guests must be 25 years of age or older to rent this home.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, fitness centre, hot tub, tennis court, and barbecue area here. They're shared with the community's other guests.
* There's a two-car garage here, which is handy given how much you'll likely be driving. If you're bringing an electric vehicle, a charger is already installed.
