Bermuda Dunes
An unincorporated community built around a historic Hollywood-era country club, with its own private airport and some of the most genuinely affordable golf course living in the Coachella Valley. Homes from the $300,000s to $3M.
Bermuda Dunes is an unincorporated community in the Coachella Valley built almost entirely around the legacy of its namesake country club, developed in 1958 by Ernie Dunlevie and Ray Ryan and once a favored retreat for Hollywood stars including Clark Gable and Cary Grant. The club has a genuine place in golf history as a former host of the Bob Hope Classic, with champions including Arnold Palmer among its winners over the decades.
With a median home price around $600,000 to $750,000 as of 2026 and homes within Bermuda Dunes Country Club itself ranging from approximately $390,000 to nearly $3 million, the community offers some of the most accessible golf-course living anywhere in the Coachella Valley relative to the quality and history of the club itself. Bermuda Dunes Country Club spans 17 separate Homeowners Associations plus The Dunes Residence Club, giving buyers a genuinely wide range of home styles, predominantly featuring Spanish Colonial Revival elements like red clay roof tiles.
One detail that sets Bermuda Dunes apart from nearly every other community in this guide is its own private airport, Bermuda Dunes Airport, also known as Crown Aero, which borders the community directly. Despite this proximity, the airport's noise abatement guidelines mean residents experience minimal disruption, while gaining a genuinely unique convenience for buyers who fly privately.
