Getting around the area is easy and convenient. While the neighborhood itself is quiet and walkable, most guests prefer a car or rideshare to explore the surrounding attractions.

The easiest way to travel. You're just minutes from La Quinta, Indian Wells, and Palm Desert. Major roads like Jefferson St., Monroe St., and Highway 111 offer quick access to restaurants, golf courses, shopping, and festival venues.

Reliable and widely available—including during festival weekends. Pickup at the house is simple, and designated drop-off zones operate at the Empire Polo Grounds (3–5 minutes away).

🚶‍♂️ Walkability
The gated community is calm and walkable for morning strolls, but most destinations outside the neighborhood will require driving or a rideshare.

🚲 Biking
The area is bike-friendly, with wide streets and paths leading toward La Quinta and the Polo Grounds. Many guests enjoy cycling around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.

🚌 Public Transit
Public transportation is limited in this part of the Coachella Valley, so it’s not recommended for most guests.
