Just minutes away from Palm Springs, right by the freeway to hop on and get to LA/San Diego for a weekend trip, Cathedral City it surprisingly very up and coming. We moved here about 5 years ago and it has changed dramatically as far as things to do. Dogs parks and community attractions makes this a great place to raise a family. It's not like Los Angeles as for things to do(where we came from) but it's so much better! You can get so much done in a day, doesn't have the stress of traffic, and everyone is super friendly. Yes, the heat is almost unbearable, but you learn to adapt to it. Early morning and evenings are a great time to be outside. I feel super safe and everything here is just super accommodating, affordable, and convenient. I hope it stays this way!
Cathedral City is a wonderful place to live! People here are very friendly and diverse, which is reflected in the many different types of restaurants. While, the summer is miserable the weather is mostly mild and during the winter the view of the snow in the surrounding mountains is beautiful. Expect a lot of festivals at city hall as well as the well-known hot air balloon festival. There are many things to do like going to boomers or watching a movie at the local theatre. Schools are wonderful with the high school being an IB World School. There are art galleries and the wonderful Rancho Caliente casino. Other than a growing crime ploblem in the cheaper areas and the high cost of living it is overall a very good place to live :)
As I am still currently living in Cathedral City, I have grown very attached to this city and the Coachella Valley as a whole. Throughout high school, everyone would talk about genuinely wanting to leave the Valley because there is "not much to do here". Despite this, as a Cathedral City resident I find myself very attached to the people here because there is that small community that brings everyone together very easily. Everyone seems to know each other in some way. Personally, I've realized that growing up had made me realize that no one truly ever leaves this city or the Coachella Valley. Somehow, most people choose to stay in town; granted, I think that is because we as residents have grown close to the people here.
