    Sun City Palm Desert

    Del Webb's Sun City Palm Desert is the largest active adult community in the Coachella Valley. This 5,000 home community is the ideal retreat for retirees who want an active lifestyle community in the desert. It boasts a world-class lineup of amenities that includes three clubhouses and two championship golf courses.

    Sun City Palm Desert is a masterfully crafted community that was the result of many years of careful planning. The knowledge and experience Del Webb acquired while building their popular Sun City brands across Arizona in the 1970s and 80s led to a home-run with the opening of Sun City Palm Desert in 1992.

    Sun City Palm Desert was the first 55+ active adult community in the Palm Springs area. When it originally opened, the community was known as Sun City Palm Springs. Despite the fact that the community was actually 15 miles east of the city of Palm Springs, the name stuck for many years. As the community neared completion, the residents joined the nearby city of Palm Desert for their postal needs and the community was designated as Sun City Palm Desert.

    Sun City Palm Desert Amenities

    Spanning 1,600 meticulously planned acres, Sun City Palm Desert is the largest of the 55+ communities in the desert. The community boasts three clubhouses featuring finely appointed amenities that have set the standard for active adult living in the region. It offers an unparalleled lifestyle with a rich lineup of clubs, activities and classes to match the interests of any physically or socially active adult.

    The Mountain View Clubhouse includes a fitness center, indoor lap pool and spa, the Daily Grind Coffee Bar, a large computer lab, a post office, grand ballroom, several hobby and craft rooms, a pro shop plus tennis and pickleball courts. The Mountain View Clubhouse also includes dining options at the Ventanna Restaurant, which is great for elegant dinners. Papa Dan's at the Vista Grille has great sandwiches and burgers.

    The Sunset View Clubhouse features a library, 250-seat auditorium, aerobics and dance studio, card and meeting rooms, an outdoor pool and spa, a billiards hall and bocce ball courts. The Boulevards Restaurant at the Sunset View Clubhouse offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains while serving breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.

    The Lake View Clubhouse was the third amenity complex built in Sun City Palm Desert. It includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor walking track, meeting rooms and an outdoor pool and spa.

    The two 18-hole championship golf courses at Mountain Vista Golf Club produce an exciting and memorable golf experience for golfers of all skill levels. Hall of Famer Billy Casper and Greg Nash designed the Santa Rosa and El Gorgonio golf courses. Both courses boast exciting layouts with cascading waterfalls and emerald green fairways adorned with beautiful flowers and towering palm trees. Set amidst the Santa Rosa, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountain ranges, the views are truly breathtaking.
