The Greater Palm Springs Area
Palm Springs is located about 130 miles or a two-hour drive east of Los Angeles.  The area includes the neighboring towns of Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells, as you travel southeast along Route 10 or Highway 111.  The area has an average 350 days of sunshine a year, and winter temperatures are usually in the 70’s. The mix of southwestern culture and California history combine to make the Palm Springs area an eclectic mix of food, culture, outdoor activities, and an ideal opportunity for the art aficionado or furniture collector to enjoy the search for that unique find.
