Indio Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Characterized by clean air and blue skies, the peaceful Riverside County town of Indio is located at sea level alongside Interstate 10 within the Coachella Valley. Though home to only 50,000 permanent residents, Indio is known as a premier desert resort and attracts more than 500,000 tourists each year. The city's sphere of influence encompasses nearly 42 square miles. One of the reasons Indio attracts so many visitors is its central location approximately 75 miles north of the Baja, CA Mexican border, 125 miles east of Los Angeles and 15 miles east of Palm Springs. Indio is also the halfway point for Southern Californians taking weekend or holiday trips to the Colorado River or the Glamis Off-Road recreational facilities. Another major tourist draw is the number of festivals and special events Indio hosts each year, earning the nickname "City of Festivals."

Like the rest of the southern part of the state, Indio boasts a fabulous, mild Mediterranean climate. Summers are generally hot and sunny with temperatures in the 90s and 100s, while winters are pleasant with average temperatures in the mid- to high 70s. Thanks to this outstanding weather, outdoor recreation is popular year round. Golfing on the Indio Municipal Golf Course, hiking through the canyons of the nearby Indio Hills park property or fishing in 135-acre Lake Cahuilla are just a few of the ways Indio residents get out and enjoy nature. Indio's warm weather is also perfect for agriculture, one of its major early industries.

Indio's real estate market is diverse, with single-family residence homes for sale in a variety of sizes, prices and styles. Indio's real estate options also include condominiums, townhouses, and land lots for custom building.
