Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Desert Palms, CA

Desert Palms is an unincorporated census-designated place in the Coachella Valley of eastern Riverside County, just northeast of Palm Desert.

Most of Desert Palms is a single community - Sun City Palm Desert, a gated 55-and-over active adult retirement community, makes up the majority of the CDP's area.

Sun City Palm Desert was developed by the Del Webb Corporation, with construction running from 1992 to 2003; it was originally called Sun City Palm Springs before being renamed in 1996.

Sun City Palm Desert contains about 5,000 homes, all single-level, spread across roughly 1,600 acres on the north side of Interstate 10.

Desert Palms had a population of 6,686 at the 2020 census, slightly down from 6,957 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Desert Palms has about 3,873 households but an average of just 1.70 people per household - one of the smallest household sizes in California, reflecting its retiree population.

Sun City Palm Desert's amenities include two championship 18-hole golf courses, three clubhouses, and dozens of resident clubs, and the community is often described as a summer camp for adults.

Although Desert Palms is unincorporated county land, its residents use a Palm Desert, CA 92211 mailing address, and the community association sits on Del Webb Boulevard.
