Desert Hot Springs sits on the high side of the Coachella Valley, famous for its natural hot mineral aquifers that gave rise to a cluster of spas and boutique retreats in areas like Hot Mineral Spa and the historic mid-century inns. Neighborhoods such as Mission Lakes, with its golf and country club, and Desert Crest and B Bar H offer a range of desert housing at prices well below Palm Springs across the valley. The city has become a magnet for vacation-rental investors drawn by mineral-water appeal, Joshua Tree proximity, and design-forward desert modern remodels, giving it a distinctive short-term rental economy.
