The high desert lifestyle
Joshua Tree draws artists, remote workers, climbers and visitors to the national park. The village has galleries, cafes and a relaxed pace, and the scenery is boulders, yucca and big skies. Summers are very hot and winters cold at night. Services are limited: expect to drive for supermarkets and healthcare.
Neighbouring markets include Yucca Valley, the closest larger town, and Desert Hot Springs, while Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert are Coachella Valley resort cities roughly an hour away.
Buying as a foreigner in the US
The US has no general ban on foreign buyers, although a few states restrict ownership near military sites or by buyers from certain countries; check current state rules. Practical points:
- Wells and septic. Many desert homes have private wells and septic systems; inspect both.
- Short-term rentals. San Bernardino County has permit rules and limits for holiday lets, so confirm before you buy for rental income.
- Wildfire and insurance. Check premiums and availability.
- FIRPTA. When a non-US owner sells, a withholding tax of 15% generally applies (10% or 0% in qualifying residence cases).
- Closing. An escrow company and title insurance are standard.
