Talking Anyone familiar with Cathedral Springs in Cathedral City?

Hi All,

My partner and I are planning to relocate to the Palm Springs area at the end of this year and have been offered a 2 bedroom, 2 bath Condo in a Condominium Complex called Cathedral Springs. It is located at 31200 Landau Blvd. (near Ramon) in Cathedral City. From the information I have been able to find so far this doesn't seem like a bad area. We will be renting for the first year. The landlord swears (Of course) that it is a very nice complex and that we will be very happy there. He states it is a very gay friendly complex. I do believe him but would like some independent thoughts on the area and complex. The rent will be 985.00 per month which to me seems like a steal (But I am from New York). A little background info on us: We are a Gay couple 39 and 42 years old respectively. We are both white. My questions are:

1) Does anyone know this area?
2) would you move there?
3) Anything else we should consider before signing this lease?

I thank you in advance for any information you can provide to us. We can't wait to move to Southern California. We can't wait to get married. There is so much we're looking forward to.

Well, I wish you 2 a lot of luck. Me and my Partner went to Palm Springs last summer, and I am soooooo sold on it. I would move there tomorrow. But he has family ties. We are also from NY, Brooklyn to be exact. California weather is just totally great. I love the desert so much. The whole scenario is great. We passed thru a few different neighborjoods around the area, looked good to me. But everyone has thier own idea of whats good and not.

sorry couldnt help you to much, but you will love it out there !!!

I drive right by that almost every day. To be honest, it is not the best of areas. It is down the street from a continuation school (C School), and Landau is a very busy street where people tend to speed resulting in often bad accidents. As for Cathedral City, it is toward the bottom of the list of coachella valley cities. You either have to drive to palm springs or palm desert to do some shopping. Cat City is also towards the top of the list when it comes to crime. Gated communities see the most crime out here, because people think that they are safe behind gates so the tend not to lock their doors.

Thank you. Regardless of where I live I would always lock my doors and windows. Being from NY I am just overly cautious about this stuff, I think we are taking the Condo. Hopefully all will work out. I appreciate your help.

I would recommend looking around more to be honest. Not that its bad there, but just to see your options. For a gay couple, cat city isnt palm springs. i mean its not like people are gonna have issues with you, but palm springs its like.... its just everywhere. i dont know, im not gay so i dont know what its like first hand, but ive lived here most my life and know most people here arent really all that tolerant but not on some violent kinda ***** just well you know. its the same as anywhere, some people are cool some people arent. Im not familiar with that complex but I dont think that area is "bad". its not la quinta or indian wells or palm desert or some other fancy smanchy place.. yet again im also only 28. some people are used to what they like and dont want this or that. A brand new grocery store (stater bros) was built right next to that location so that would be helpful. yes if you want to "shop" you have to go to palm desert... all of fifteen minutes away haha. traffic here is laughable. if anybody ever says theres traffic here, well excuse me they are idiots. there is parking for days and if anything you will be mad people drive too slow.

sorry if im not even really helping... yet again look around in palm springs too but it depends on what you want to spend. my wife and i lived in desert flower apartments in palm springs last year, off of highway 111 and farrell.. it was a super nice place. no problems, but it was expensive. 1300 per month. anyhow im sure you will be happy here if you are familiar with everything else. the heat is no joke tho man... noooo joke.
