About this home

Updated comfort meets inviting outdoor living in gated Starlight Dunes. This single-story, three-bedroom, two-bath home offers 2,084 square feet, a recently painted exterior, and beautifully redesigned landscaping. The remodeled kitchen features new countertops, double ovens, and a retractable downdraft vent. Both spa-inspired bathrooms showcase glass-enclosed rainfall showers with body sprays, smart toilets, illuminated mirrors, and distinctive tilework. Outside, enjoy a resurfaced PebbleTec pool and raised spillover spa with updated tile, a poolside gazebo, and a separate paver patio beside a water fountain. Mature palms, flowering roses, fruit trees, and accent lighting create an inviting garden setting day and night. Connections are installed for a future built-in grill. A new central A/C system, three mini-splits, whole-house water filtration with salt-free conditioning, and extensive garage cabinetry and overhead storage complete this thoughtfully upgraded La Quinta retreat.

About Highland

Palms

Highland Palms, located between Jefferson Street and Monroe Street, is a residential and golf-oriented Indio neighborhood with fairway-lined streets and low-slung desert architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highland Palms Country Club clubhouse, where cart paths, practice greens, and patio tables set a relaxed, sunlit rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and stucco condos sit behind palms and mountain-view corridors, with wide streets that favor evening walks. The landscape reads as classic Coachella Valley: gravel gardens, citrus, and shade structures. Daily life centers on tee times, pool decks, and small gatherings rather than a commercial strip.
