I'm asking more for those who moved from elsewhere. What are the things that disappointed you about PS once you moved here?

From my short experience, I know about the ungodly summer heat, the terrible condition of a lot of streets in the city of PS (some almost rivalling Detroit!), lack of good Greek diners, the wind, etc. But what are some of the OTHER things I need to consider before moving here?

I'm looking through real estate options, reading up about specific HOA's, looking for places WITHOUT golf courses, avoiding leased land, etc. etc. But, I'm sure there will be things I don't consider, and I'd like to hear what those were from you.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a good real estate agent in Palm Springs. My partner and I are planning to buy later this year, ideally a Mid-Century Modern home. We’re still learning the area, so any recommendations would really help. TY!

This Friday May 22nd they have private parties for surfing at 5:30PM & 6:30PM. I have 6 boys that want to join -- but the rate of $3,180 is too steep for us.

Anyone down to join with your boys, split the cost & join us? Let me know. Message or dm.

Thanks!

Hi there! I'm from LA and adore Palm Springs. I was considering buying property to live there as a second home, but I'm aware of the very strict noise ordinance. I understand and respect that it helps to keep people from out-of-town partying in residential neighborhoods. But I can't wrap my head around "no music or sound of any kind outside" for those who live there.

Are there really no residents who occasionally have, say, an outdoor gathering with some light, ambient music? I don't mean blasting party music, just maybe some Sinatra, or jazz at a reasonable level during a reasonable time?
Or perhaps even playing a record indoors at a normal volume but the windows are open?

I absolutely respect the desire for peace and quiet, and love the serenity of Palm Springs (outside of downtown, lol) but some of these things seem impossible for every resident to adhere to, all of the time, so I was curious to hear from residents what it's like for you to live there. I can't imagine every single person who lives in Palm Springs never wants to have occasional music playing at some point that *might* be able to be heard outside during normal hours. Do you find that nobody truly ever makes any noise? Or is there an understanding of reasonable, occasional sound that anyone would hear from a neighbor from time to time? Again, I'm NOT referring to crazy partying, booming bass, etc. Thank you!

Not bars (they're ALWAYS open late..), but restaurants, etc. Are there any 24 hour restaurants? Movie theaters that stay open late?

I just found a place in Palm Springs and will be finished moving around the first week of June. I became a big fan of football/soccer watching Zidane when I was younger, and am eager to watch the World Cup back on US soil. I also thought it might be a good chance to socialize with some new neighbors and enjoy the group energy. On that note, what are your suggestions for best places to watch a match or three?

Looking to add a breeze block wall and hitting a dead end on where to go look and buy blocks. Internet is fine but I need to see how big, how they look etc. Thanks!

If you have one, would love to see my sophomore picture. Thanks

We like Tony’s in Cat City and Smokin Burgers in Palm Springs but I want to try some place new. Suggestions?

Hayday is tasty but I’m not thinking smash burgers.

‼️EDIT: I REALIZED I MEANT FRESH AGAVE. NOT BLUE AGAVE. MY APOLOGIES! ‼️What has been your experience with this restaurant? I had been avoiding this place because of their cringe stereotypical ads of the Mexican man with a ridiculous heavy accent who can barely articulate a sentence..
then Mother’s Day came around and I begrudgingly accepted an invitation to Mother’s Day brunch.
Good Fkn God. The only good thing to eat there was the candies on the dish at the entrance!
The food was so bad, blandest than sandwich white bread. We ordered several drinks for our table and they not were not the advertised traditional drinks like PALOMA, MARGARITA, MEZCAL etc.. they were not even grazed by alcohol. An outrageous $500 bill for 4 plates of the blandest food you’ll ever have in this town and 4 “alcoholic” drinks? yeah that’s on us. OHhhh and let me tell you. I was scrubbing the cheese off my beans and there was a FKN hair under the cheese about 3 inches long. BEWARE.

My wife and I will be in Palm Springs near the end of the month, and her favorite thing to eat is soup dumplings/Xiao long bao. Is there anywhere nearby that I might be able to surprise her with some?

I just visited PS, and loved it!

I loved the ease in getting around, lots of outdoor adventures, culture, weather…

But, living in PS, where do you go on vacations?

Are there any other similar experiences in the US?

Thanks in advance:)
