Houses, condos and bedroom counts
Houses account for 88 of the 127 listings and apartments (mostly condominiums) for 39. By bedrooms, 3-bed homes lead with 56 listings, then 2-bed with 39 and 4-bed with 21; only 3 are one-bedroom and 8 have five or more.
That makes it a mid-sized family and second-home market. Comparing against the national picture on the US house listings and US apartment listings pages shows how much cheaper the desert is than coastal California.

Life in the Coachella Valley
Cathedral City is a working city with its own downtown and a large Latino and LGBTQ+ community, and it adjoins Palm Springs, so the airport, restaurants and golf are minutes away. Winters are mild and busy; summers regularly pass 40°C, which is why many owners are seasonal. Los Angeles is roughly two hours by road in light traffic. Cost of living and prices are lower than in Palm Springs proper, one reason buyers start here.
Cathedral City trades some of Palm Springs' polish for more house per euro, with the same airport and sunshine.
Tips for non-US buyers
Foreign nationals can buy US property without a visa, and there is no residency requirement. A few points matter in California:
- Financing: foreign-national loans exist but usually need 30-40% down and larger reserves; see US financing
- Property tax: about 1% of purchase price plus local bonds and assessments, reassessed on sale
- HOA and Mello-Roos: many condo and estate communities charge monthly fees; read the budget and rental restrictions
- Selling later: FIRPTA withholding of 15% can apply to non-resident sellers, with lower rates for qualifying residences
Our US buying guide covers escrow, title insurance and taxes in more detail.
Neighbouring desert cities
Cathedral City borders Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, with Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta a short drive down Highway 111. Desert Hot Springs sits to the north. See the United States overview for other states.

Buying property in Cathedral City: FAQ
Is Cathedral City cheaper than Palm Springs?
Generally yes. With a median asking price of €481,852 across our 127 listings, it works as an entry point to the valley, although exact comparisons depend on property type and gated community.
Can short-term rentals be run from a Cathedral City home?
The city regulates vacation rentals through permits and caps, and HOAs may ban them. Confirm the current rules and your community's covenants before buying with Airbnb income in mind.
What are the summers like?
Very hot, with highs often above 40°C from June to September. Many owners leave for the summer, so check air-conditioning age and running costs.
Do I need a US bank account to buy?
Not strictly, but you will need a way to wire funds and pay recurring bills. Many foreign buyers open an account with a US bank or use a US title and escrow agent for closing.
Are the prices in euros or dollars?
Listings are in US dollars. The figures on this page are converted to euros, so they will move with exchange rates.
