Palm Springs is a place to enjoy life. And because it is only a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties, many second homes are located in Palm Springs. The permanent population is approximately 45,000, with another 30,000 residents in the winter, and approximately one million tourists annually. A bustling downtown is nestled against the impressive Mt. San Jacinto, and is surrounded by well-established neighborhoods with a mix of eclectic architectural styles. Palm Canyon Drive hosts the city’s many parades and festivals, as well as antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants and night clubs.
