Whether you're visiting or planting roots, Indian Wells offers an unmatched desert experience—refined, relaxed, and beautifully understated.
🕰️ A Storied History of Prestige
Indian Wells takes its name from the natural artesian wells once used by the local Cahuilla tribes and early settlers. It began as an agricultural community, but by the 1950s, visionaries transformed it into an elite hideaway for Hollywood celebrities, athletes, and business moguls. Incorporated in 1967, Indian Wells became one of the most exclusive residential and resort destinations in the Coachella Valley.
Today, the city continues to uphold its legacy of quiet affluence while embracing innovation, sustainability, and high-quality living.

Indian Wells is serene, polished, and private. It’s a place where beautifully manicured streets, palm-lined drives, and panoramic mountain views set the tone.
