La Quinta Homes for Sale

La Quinta

Home to PGA West, the historic La Quinta Resort, and the most dramatic mountain backdrop in the Coachella Valley. Homes from the $400,000s to $25M+.

La Quinta sits at the southeastern edge of the central Coachella Valley, framed by the Santa Rosa Mountains in a setting widely considered the most dramatic in the entire desert. With a median home price around $675,000 to $799,000 as of 2026 and a population approaching 39,000 to 41,000, La Quinta has grown substantially in recent decades, with a population increase of over 68 percent since 2000.

The city's identity is deeply tied to golf and resort history. The historic La Quinta Resort & Club, the nationally acclaimed Arnold Palmer Classic Course at SilverRock Resort, and the legendary PGA West Golf Club & Resort, with its famous TPC Stadium Course, all call La Quinta home. The city also hosts renowned annual events including the La Quinta Arts Festival, one of the top-ranked art festivals in the country.

La Quinta's residential real estate spans an exceptional range, from accessible homes in the $400,000s to the valley's most architecturally significant ultra-luxury estates at The Madison Club, where prices regularly exceed $20 million. This breadth, combined with the city's relatively younger overall median age of 53 compared to Rancho Mirage or Indian Wells, gives La Quinta one of the most demographically and economically diverse buyer pools of any city in this guide.
