About this home

This well-maintained 51-unit garden-style community provides residents with direct access to the I-10 Freeway and Highway 111 retail corridor, and proximity to the world-famous Empire Polo Grounds and Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. Situated on a ±106,286 SF lot, Casa Serena features ±29,376 SF of rentable space across 51 one-bedroom/one-bathroom floor plans averaging a generous 576 SF each.

Each unit includes walk-in closets, double-pane windows, private individual patios, and central air and heating — all on one story with no neighbors above or below. Common areas feature an on-site laundry facility, lush mature landscaping, a beautifully maintained courtyard, and surface parking, with full-time on-site property management and maintenance staff. Indio’s economy is anchored by a dynamic mix of hospitality, gaming, government, healthcare, and retail. Top employers include Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, Spotlight 29 Casino, the City of Indio, Desert Regional Medical Center, and the College of the Desert — driving a stable, diverse employment base across the Coachella Valley. As the secondary seat of Riverside County government, Indio supports thousands of public sector jobs. Tourism adds powerful economic strength, with nearly 1.4 million annual visitors drawn to the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, the Empire Polo Grounds, and the National Date Festival — sustaining a consistent and resilient tenant base year-round. Casa Serena Apartments is a stable income-producing asset in the Coachella Valley, promising a strong return on investment in one of Southern California’s most rapidly growing communities. Whether you are a first-time investor seeking to enter the market, a seasoned investor looking to expand your portfolio, or considering a 1031 Exchange, this property offers exceptional stability and long-term value.
Central Indio, located between Highway 111 and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival grounds, is a historic and civic Indio neighborhood with a traditional street grid and a walkable downtown core. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Towne Street and Highway 111, where taquerias, date shops, small galleries, and patio dining set a steady, day-to-night rhythm. Coachella Valley History Museum, the Riverside County Fairgrounds, and the Indio Performing Arts Center act as cultural anchors with year-round programming. Early- and mid-century homes mix with low-rise storefronts and civic buildings, giving blocks a lived-in, practical feel. Pocket parks and school campuses break up the grid, while murals and festival signage hint at Indio’s event calendar. Mountain views frame many streets, and warm desert light defines the palette of stucco, shade trees, and wide sidewalks.
