Rancho Mirage
The Ultimate Oasis
While the residential base is the single greatest asset of the community, the prestigious image of Rancho Mirage has also been enhanced by major non-residential uses including three resort hotels – Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa, The Ritz Carlton and Westin Mission Hills; Eisenhower Medical Center, the Betty Ford Center and The River at Rancho Mirage entertainment and retail center. These facilities are considered to be of the highest quality level with some receiving both national as well as international recognition. These uses, in conjunction with the strong residential base, have allowed Rancho Mirage to become a prominent community within the Coachella Valley.
Rancho Mirage was one of the first communities in the Coachella Valley to capitalize on the demand for high quality residential/resort housing units in the Valley. As such, the City has traditionally had the unique advantage of widespread name recognition as one of the most affluent residential communities in the Valley. Within the context of continued growth within the Coachella Valley, the vast amount of vacant available land creates competition throughout the Valley for desirable new development types. Construction in Rancho Mirage in calendar year 2018 amounted to over $86.4 million in building permit valuations. Single family residential construction totaled over $42.9 million, commercial and other construction, including additions, renovations and energy saving equipment upgrades, totaled over $43.5 million. Currently, various residential projects, retail developments, medical facilities, office and hotel developments are in various stages of the planning process.
