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 :)
Cathedral City is where you find many auto shops that specialize in customizing low-end cars to make them noisier and more obnoxious. It is very typical to hear several cars and trucks competing for speed and noise. There is illegal racing on Ramon Rd. I found a COBB controller tossed onto the side of the road once, probably some guy was being chased by the police and threw it out the window. Low-status males like loud cars to make up for whatever they feel life did to them, and you see a lot of it here. It's less expensive than Palm Springs, but now you know why.
One of those towns where if you don't look for trouble you won't get any. Mostly. Not many attractions beyond the casino here and relatively cheap housing. Not the safest with things sometimes being stolen from our front lawn, although it could be just our neighbors. Most people seem to be Latino workers trying to make a living. The city sits next to Palm Springs which is the far more famous city with many more attractions and enticing prospects.
