Hi everyone, we are a straight DINK couple in our early 40s. Pretty active lifestyles. Wife golfs, I mountain bike. We both hike.

We have been visiting the Palm Springs area for awhile and are thinking about pulling the trigger on something in this area.

I have to be in office 3 days a week, so this would be a place where we do long weekends, holidays etc. so house would be empty a decent chunk of time. Will it be safe sitting empty?

We love the proximity to El Paseo and that it is essentially a walking neighborhood in Palm Desert. That nice park is also a walking distance. Since we will be there on weekends/holidays, the drive around to Palm Springs doesn’t scare us.

Don’t care about bars. Restaurants, we can drive. We view this as a long-term play. Personally, I don’t expect any appreciation.

Anything we should be aware of? Any questions I am not asking? Any color would be great.

Thanks a lot for the help!
