Renting an Apartment in Sky Valley
Realtors arrived to speculate real estate appraisal of thousands of vacant
lots, but the streets are laid out over a six square mile area. Over time, some
homes are bought by sun-seeking retirees and the area incorporated into a city
in 1963, with only 1,000 residents.
Desert Hot Springs experienced periods of dizzying growth in the 1980s and 1990s
when most of the vacant lots were filled with new houses and duplex apartments.
The city's population doubled in the 1980s and increased by 5,000 in the 2000
census.
In 1993, a 3-star hotel, Mirage Springs Hotel Resort opened in DHS. Despite good
reviews and providing much needed financial revenue to DHS, Mirage Springs
closed its doors in 1998. Another hotel, the Miracle Springs Resort and Spa, has
since occupied the site.
A new high school opened in 1999, two new public parks and several country clubs
either opened or were proposed. A hotel resort near the 40-year old Mission
Lakes golf club is under construction.
The Desert Hot Springs Police Department was established in 1997, after
residents complained to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department about being
"underserved" by only a part-time deputy from the Palm Desert regional station.
The City of Desert Hot Springs contracts for fire protection and emergency
medical services(EMS) with the Riverside County Fire Department through a
cooperative agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection(Cal Fire). Fire Station 37 has 1 paramedic engine company and if
needed, receives support from other Riverside County Fire stations.
