Palm Springs Condos for Sale - Greenhouse East, $280K and $285K

Greenhouse East in Central Palm Springs is one of my favorite condo communities.  I like them so much because they have good floor plans, large private patios (room for spa), good natural light, garages, great central location, and a fantastic community lap pool surrounded by resort-like grounds.

I saw these two units on broker tour yesterday.  The first is a fixer 3 bdrm (or 2 bdrm + den), 3 bath with direct mountain views. The second is a 2 bedrm, 2 bath with nice "southwest" design elements and a pleasant patio.

Contact me to see either of these condos.  760.902.3121

Palm Springs Gardens - My Newest Blog

I have a passion for selling real estate and it's what I do for a living. My other passion, though, is gardening and landscaping. If I were to choose another way to make money, it would, hopefully, involve plants.

I've thought for quite a while that I should have a gardening blog to somehow tie my passions for real estate and gardening together.  I've officially started the Palm Springs Garden Blog.  I hope my readers and followers will enjoy it as I build the site and continue to post plants and stories.  A link to the blog is on the right along with all the other links I have.  It's about half way down, or you can see the link HERE.


As always, I appreciate your comments and discussions.

Palm Springs Revival

Sunday's LA Times Travel Section had a wonderful story about Palm Springs' revival.  I must say that I've noticed a considerable change in the "energy level", even over the holidays when in many previous years Palm Springs was pretty quiet.  So, read the article and come visit!  The complete article is HERE
