Native Americans settled the area for thousands of years and many streets in the Palm Springs have Native American names. Located within Coachella Valley (yes that famous festival) the city is 107 miles east of L.A. That’s the city’s nickname due to the large population of celebrities that live in Palm Springs.
From charming village shops to unique artsy stores, wrapped up in old-Hollywood glamour, this desert town is far from sleepy. Boasting over 325 days of sunshine and a 50% gay population, residents here feel truly at home. Laidback and resort casual, Palm Springs is the American epicenter of the LGBTQ community.
