Palm Springs Review 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 19, 2019) Palm Springs is always crowded and the streets are always full of traffic from the morning to the night. There are homeless drug addicts everywhere in Palm Springs and long lines in each store I go to. There are a lot of rude people everywhere. There is a guy in a blue shirt with ...Read More glasses and he is being extremely rude and prejudice towards people he walk up to for no reason. No one should be treated like that. Palm Springs is one of the worst cities to live in. Do not go to Palm Springs. Read Less

Palm Springs Hot 3 rating By Shana ( Mar 12, 2016) I lived in Palm Spring twice, both times for less than a year. The weather is much hotter than Area Vibes says it is and feels hotter than the Arizona desert to me and is very windy. Palm Springs has lost it's shine and many have moved to Palm Desert due to the crime. It's really ...Read More sad but there are so many homeless drug addicts and a serious meth problem in this area. There is a sense of community especially due to the gay population but some serious social problems need to be addressed. It is only a 2 hour drive to the coast yet feels so far from a big city and with gas almost $4.00 a gallon I went less than I would of liked to. The cost of rent is better than the coast but the wages are less so it equals out. Read Less

My Time In Palm Springs, CA 5 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 12, 2015) I live in Palm Springs for several months of the year. I have gone to Palm Springs for many winters. I prefer the winter season in Palm Springs so that I can enjoy the warmth and sunshine. I am located in Rochester, New York where winter is long, very cold and gray. It is so cold ...Read More in Rochester that your very bones freeze and the sun does not shine for months at a time. The major attraction of Palm Springs for me is the climate.

There are many more attractions that are appealing in Palm Springs, and the attractions are all outdoor. I am a hiker. I really enjoy taking long hikes through the desert. One word of caution and that is to take water when you are hiking. In fact, Palm Springs is a desert climate and it is a good idea to take water with you wherever you go. Palm Springs is great for spas and swimming or other activities that are enjoyable in the sun. Some resident enjoy playing golf. I have been told that the golfing in Palm Springs surpasses all. I do not golf so I have to take their word for it. The only thing that I can guarantee is that every day is a golf day because every day is warm and sunny. Palm Springs is great because the sunshine mood enhancing and that is the major attraction for me.

There are things to do in the evening, but the activities are not stellar. If you want the best of theater and museum, I would not recommend Palm Springs because it pales by comparison to the major capitals of this country and other countries. Shopping is limited as well. If you need a pair of short, then shopping is fine. But for the runway elegance coming out of Milan, you will find Palm Springs lacking. While not the finest cuisine, the restaurants are fine for a meal. Read Less
