Palm Springs View Estates Mobile Home Park Description
The PSVE park is located
in east Palm Springs on the border with Cathedral City. It was developed
in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s and consists of 184 spaces divided
into three sections: north, 5.75 acres; central, 6 acres; and south, 15
acres. It includes a non-gated entry and an emergency exit at
the rear of the north section. Each section has a pool and spa and
some green-belt areas. The central section contains the clubhouse
and some off-site parking along with the pool and spa.
The 400-foot wide Palm Canyon Wash (sometimes referred to as the Tahquitz Creek, or Whitewater River) is a Riverside County Flood Control Channel and separates the north and central sections. The south side of the wash has a levee. The official Coachella Valley Bike Path parallels the levee and then turns south and continues along the east side of the park. (See video.)
The wash is not
maintained and is home to a great deal of foliage and various species of
wildlife, including roaming coyotes.
The wash is also directly in line with the flight landing path of the Palm Springs International Airport, with the landing strip being located1-3/4 miles away. The aircraft noise, although intermittent, can be substantial, particularly during the tourist and convention seasons.
During and after moderate to heavy rainstorms the floodwater flowing in the wash cuts off access to the north section, requiring access through an emergency gate at the rear of the park. On a number of occasions, the road has washed out, or blocked with sand and debris, preventing ingress and egress for extended periods
Part of the south section
is in the same flood zone area as the adjoining section of the El Dorado
park, which now requires additional foundation heights to comply with
government codes.
Individual Space Variations
All PSVE rental spaces are generally comparable in setting with slight variations in orientation and views. A small number of spaces are somewhat unique in that they border on a golf fairway and others border on the wash. These have both positive and negative characteristics that should be considered in any evaluation of the spaces.
