We were so happy with the first year we renewed our lease. The apartment was clean, the landscaping is nice and the Pool/Grill area is always clean. When I notify office about any concerns maintenance is usually out a couple days after if not the very next day. Being on the first level there is no privacy patio but I have never had an issue with theft having patio furniture out. Manager always smiles and greets when you come to office and always helpful.

Me, my wife, and kids stayed here for about 2 years and loved this place. The office and maintenance staff are always prompt with any problems or questions that we had. We had to relocate due to my wife’s job. The apartments are really nice and spacious and the community is friendly. Thank you for our stay with you guys. Continue to flourish palm desert. P.s Anca is the bomb!! Great person

I have lived here for 3 years now and, Palm Desert apartments are a mix of location, community, and safety. Auanc the manager is always kind and understanding, she keeps the place well-kept and clean. Facilities such as the pool, gills, and outdoor features are always nice and usable. The gates are always locked and working. The community is quite and pet friendly, I have two dogs that I can walk anytime with peace. Overall, I am enjoying my stay and recommend living at palm desert.

I have lived here for the last 4 months, I can not be happier. I love the management company, Anca is such an amazing property manager, great attitude and actually cares about you and your family and experience! The apartment is nice as well, nice value for what you pay for. Gated community makes you feel safe!!! Maintenance is quick to fix anything that’s broken, and beautiful landscaping not to mention the pool as well!!! I highly recommend this property, not like all the other run down properties I’ve lived in! No bugs either!

Use to live here 20 years ago when I was starting my family and it was wonderful. From the look of the photos it's even better. Don't love the love the area much anymore though. I can honestly say I still think about all my happy times there. We lived on the newer side. I would live in that unit that we had there and live happily ever after. The grade school is wonderful there. It's Washington Elementary. My daughter really thrilled there.
