Palm Springs

In the late-19th century and early-20th century (1880&ndash;1920), agriculture developed in present-day La Quinta and "East Valley" by pre-modern (mountain water runoff or open water springs) and modern irrigation techniques. At the time, California and federal land surveyors declared the sand dunes uninhabitable, only the hard rock ground of the "Marshall Cove" held potential farming and residential development.
In 1926, Walter Morgan established the La Quinta Resort at the northern section of Marshall Cove as a type of secluded hideaway for nearby Hollywood's celebrities and socialites. The Resort was the site for the Coachella Valley's first golf course, coinciding with the construction and pavement of State Route 111 in the 1930s. Further expansion of Washington Street in the 1950s and 1960s connected La Quinta with US Highways 60 and 99 (became Interstate 10 in the 1970s).
As nearby desert cities grew to capacity, La Quinta's growth rose dramatically by the mid-1980s, which led to its incorporation as a city in Riverside County in 1982. In the 1980 census, La Quinta had 4,200 residents, then increased to 11,215 by 1990 in the city's early phases of residential area growth. It was predominantly a part-time community until around that time.
Coral Mountain is a proposed $200-million complex on 400 acres (160&nbsp;ha) that would include a hotel and housing built around a surfing basin created by Kelly Slater Wave Co.

La Quinta

Railroad line construction east out of Los Angeles began in 1873. Trains were operated to Colton on July 16, 1875, and to Indio (then Indian Wells) on May 29, 1876. Moving on eastward from Indio, the railroad reached the west bank of the Colorado River opposite Yuma on May 23, 1877 (a village known as Arizona City prior to 1873). There was delay in getting military authority to lay tracks across the Yuma Indian reservation, and it was September that year before the bridge was completed so trains could operate into Yuma. The Southern Pacific Railroad was to have joined those of the Texas &amp; Pacific, one of several railroads then holding, or seeking, federal authority to build lines from various sections of the country west to the Pacific Coast. But the rail-head of the T &amp; P was at a standstill far off in Texas, so Southern Pacific continued building eastward.
The City of Indio came about because of the need of a halfway point for the Southern Pacific Railroad between Yuma, Arizona and Los Angeles, since the engines needed to be refilled with water. At first, the would-be city was called Indian Wells, 292 but since many other areas already had that name, Indio (after a Spanish variation of the word "Indian") was chosen instead. After the railroad's arrival in 1876, Indio really started to grow. The first permanent building was the craftsman-style Southern Pacific Depot station and hotel. Southern Pacific tried to make life as comfortable as it could for their workers in order to keep them from leaving such a difficult area to live in at the time. It was at the center of all social life in the desert with a fancy dining room and hosting dances on Friday nights.
While Indio started as a railroad town, it soon became agricultural. Onions, cotton, grapes, citrus and dates thrived in the arid climate due to the ingenuity of farmers finding various means of attaining water, first through artesian wells and later through the valley's branch of the All-American Canal. However, water also was a major problem for Indio and the city was flooded several times until the storm water canals were created throughout the Coachella Valley.
Businessmen and women found this last frontier land of the continental United States as an ideal place to start fresh. Dr. Harry Smiley and his wife Nell were early residents and stayed in Indio after their car broke down on the way to Los Angeles and became people of influence and helped shape the area. A. G. Tingman was an early store owner and first Postmaster of Indio, but also well known for taking advantage of miners as they headed to the mountains, selling at rather high prices. Later Dr. June Robertson McCarroll became a leading philanthropist and successful doctor in Indio. She was responsible along with the Indio Woman's Club for pressuring California into adopting the placing of white lines down the streets after she was nearly hit one too many times by passing vehicles. Even though these early founders of the city are considered pioneers, they still partook in the lifestyles of their friends living in such areas as Los Angeles. Indio established itself quickly and kept up with the trends as they were brought in by the railroads.
By the turn of the 20th century, Indio was already more than a fading railroad town. Schools were built, the La Casita hospital provided medical services, and families established roots. By 1920, about one to two thousand year-round residents lived in Indio, while it doubled to 2,500 to 5,000 during the winter months and was advertised as a health resort for senior citizens and those with respiratory diseases and ailments in the rest of the 20th century.
Indio also served as the home of the USDA's Date Station, a place where leading scientific research was taking place on the fruit that would become a major part of the culture of Indio. The station started in 1907 and was responsible for the ability of local farmers to better understand this unique crop and make the Coachella Valley a leader in American date crops. This also created a tie to the Middle East that led to the theme for the County Fair with the Middle Eastern flair.
Coachella and Thermal soon became larger cities than Indio, but Indio remained the "Hub of the Valley", as it was called. With the burning of the majority of Thermal and the decline of Coachella, Indio grew again. By 1930, Indio was a thriving area and incorporated. On September 6, 1930, storekeeper Fred Kohler received the first business license in Indio.
Indio was also aided by the visiting soldiers from Patton's training grounds in Chiriaco Summit located 30 miles to the east.
In the second half of the 20th century, Indio saw another decline as the valley's population begin to move west towards newer cities such as Palm Desert. However, there is now a reversal in this trend and the eastern section of the valley is poised to once again become the center of the Coachella Valley.
The city had significant unemployment rates (in some cases over 20 percent) in the late 20th century and from the recession in the late 2000s. The rate in 2006 was under 5 percent after the local economy rebounded in the real estate boom when more affluent residents moved in. The rapid population growth fueled the city's present need for employment opportunities.

Brittany represented my husband and I, in the purchase of a home, and then the sale of our condo. Both transactions involved dealing with difficult other parties and Brittany did an excellent job calming and skillfully navigating through all the issues. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the market. She was extremely responsive at all times during both transactions. She also did an excellent job with our condo listing which helped facilitate a quick offer. She’s a fantastic all around agent!

OMG! - I had not bought a house in 20 years. I forgot all about the paperwork and the entire process. Thank gosh for Brittany - she walked me through the process, served as my advocate, and completely won my respect. No detail was missed and every time we had an issue, she completely served as an impeccable advocate and an incredible negotiator. If you work with Brittany, you're lucky - she is amazing.

Brittany is the absolute best! She 100% has your best interest at heart from beginning to end. She is very detailed and knowledgeable. She is always available to answer any questions you may have. Brittany loves what she does and it shows! She is not just a great Realtor but a wonderful human being. Go with Brittany for all your real estate needs, you will not be disappointed!

We had a great experience buying a home with Brittany. She continues to help us to this day. As we are Canadians this was a long distance purchase and Brittany helped us every step of the way

Brittany was amazing! I’ve bought and sold many homes and NEVER had an agent that was more available, responsive and professional. She went the extra mile to be at the inspection when I couldn’t and even took some measurements for me. I would HIGHLY recommend Brittany, you won’t be disappointed!

Brittany is one of the best realtors we have ever experienced. She is ALWAYS available when you need her and if she isn’t she returns your call, texts, or emails immediately. There are NOT very many realtors like Brittany. If you want a trustworthy, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable realtor please call Brittany. We can’t say enough about the outstanding service she has given us!

Truly the best agent I have ever worked with (and I have worked with a lot ). She is very detail oriented and works hard for you. I would recommend Brittany and I will have her listing my other houses.

Working with Brittany on our recent home purchase was a very enjoyable experience. We were purchasing from out of state, and Brittany made sure the entire process from start to finish was completed with accuracy and efficiency. She was always available for questions and responded back quickly with answers. I would highly recommend Brittany and would most surely rely on her expertise again when purchasing a home.

She was a wonderful agent she really helped us during the buying process and guided us through all the paperwork and helped us throughout the buying of our home. She was a great access and friend!!!

I was lucky to find Brittany. After interviewing multiple agents I ended up selecting Brittany to work with. She helped me list and sell my mother’s place after she passed. Brittany was great and extremely helpful assisting me do all the things I needed to get the place sold all while not even living in the desert. She really went the extra mile to ensure everything was taken care of; including connecting me with local help for boxing things up, trash runs, donations, cleaning, and handyman services. Outstanding communication throughout the process. Wouldn’t have been possible without her guidance. I highly recommend you contact Brittany.

Excellent knowledge of the area. Listened to our needs and budget and gave us a great many options to choose from. Was quick with responses when called on. She was always prompt and has a great attitude and personality. Would recommend her anyone looking for a solid realtor.

If you are looking for an impersonal, business only, experience in buying a home, then Brittany is definitely not who you should talk to. She has a very approachable personality and was eager to help us find a home every time we met. We saw a dozen or so houses with her and she helped us make offers on about half that amount. Brittany is an early bird and a night owl blended together – she was up early searching for homes that fit our tastes and budget and was up late writing initial offers and trying to make last minute contact with sellers. She is just a fantastic human being and an absolutely awesome realtor, we are so lucky to have had her on our side in buying our first home. Thank You, Brittany!
