Who We Are
Community
Heritage Palms is the Coachella Valley’s premier 55+ active adult community. Located in Indio, California, home to festivals and concerts and surrounded by mountains and blue skies, residents enjoy a lifestyle supported by extensive amenities which include golf, tennis, pickleball, and indoor and outdoor pools. The 20,000 square foot clubhouse houses a beautiful ballroom, grille room and bar, library, craft room, card rooms, and billiard room. Adjacent buildings provide a fitness center, dance rehearsal room, the Heritage Room, which hosts meetings, groups, and small gatherings, and administrative and maintenance facilities.
Homes
Heritage Palms is a master planned, gated community of 1004 single family, one-story homes located south of Interstate 10 at the intersection of Fred Waring Drive and Jefferson Street. Original construction, under the guidance of US Homes, began in 1996. Lennar later completed the community with total build out in 2006.
Homeowners Association

An Association General Manager oversees the nearly one hundred support personnel that make our community run smoothly and maintain its assets.
