Conveniently located near Cathedral City High School, shopping, dining, golf, entertainment, and major commuter routes, this property combines everyday convenience with long-term investment potential.

Utilities are available nearby (buyer to verify availability, capacity, and connection costs). Buyers are advised to contact the Cathedral City Municipal Planning Department and/or County of Riverside regarding zoning, permits, land use, utility connections, development standards, and intended future uses of the property. Land Financing Available. BUY NOW, BUILD LATER & INVEST in the future growth of the Coachella Valley.
The Canyon, located between Cathedral Canyon Drive and Date Palm Drive, is a residential and resort-style Cathedral City neighborhood with mountain backdrops and palm-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cathedral Canyon Drive and East Palm Canyon Drive junction, where desert-road energy meets a strip of local eateries and small storefronts. Mid-century lines and low-slung desert homes sit alongside newer gated enclaves, with wide skies framing the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. Big-leaf landscaping and xeriscaped yards match the Coachella Valley climate. Community touchstones include the Mary Pickford Theatre, the Cathedral City Amphitheater, and the Cathedral City Hot Air Balloon Festival grounds at Civic Center Park. Golf greens and trailheads shape a day-to-day rhythm that leans outdoors.
