Best Gated Communities in Palm Desert for Families

If you're raising a family in the Coachella Valley, Palm Desert offers some of the most family-friendly gated communities in Southern California. With top-rated schools, private security, and resort-style amenities, it's no wonder so many families are choosing to settle down here.
