A real, disclosed rent spread

Palm Desert's median rent ran $1,717 per one source versus a separate 2024 median gross rent figure of $1,920 -- disclosed here rather than reconciled to one figure.

A smaller, more seasonal rental market

Palm Desert's population (approximately 64,928) and its real, substantial snowbird/seasonal-resident presence mean rental inventory and pricing can genuinely fluctuate seasonally -- confirm current listings directly for a specific time of year.
