Living in Indio, CA

Indio, CA, may be best known for being the birthplace of the world-famous Coachella Festival, but this small town located in the Coachella Valley of southern California’s Colorado Desert region has a lot more to offer to renters than just great music and even better fashion. A favorite destination among foodies and music lovers, Indio is the most populous city in the Coachella Valley and features a diverse community that grows in strides during the numerous festivals organized throughout the year. Between the golf courses and the casinos, there’s never a dull moment in Indio — even without festivals. The hot weather and proximity to big cities, such as Los Angeles — along with the relatively affordable cost of living — make Indio a favorite among snowbirds. However, renters who are considering calling this lively small town home should know that the crowds drawn by the festivals can be rowdy.

Renting in Indio, CA

Indio is a sparse, suburban community where most of the rental properties available are modest, detached, single-family homes in residential neighborhoods or rental apartments in low-rise communities.
