What would you do with fee land, mountain views and a balcony of your own, in the center of Palm Springs, for less than you'd expect?Meet #228 at Catalina Grove (now Americana Gardens). It's an upper-floor end unit with no one above you, no one on one side and nothing blocking the view. Your own private staircase leads up from the parking lot. Inside, there's natural light, cross breezes and views of the San Jacintos from the living room, dining area and balcony.The open living and dining room flows straight out to the private balcony, a natural spot for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. The kitchen has granite counters, gas cooking, a convection/microwave oven and a dishwasher. The primary suite has its own bath and a walk-in closet. There are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and about 1,150 square feet, plus a stacked washer and dryer in the unit.Then there's the land. Catalina Grove sits on fee simple land, so there's no land lease, no expiration date and no renegotiation down the road. You own the ground under you outright, and that matters for long-term value in Palm Springs.Behind the gates are three pools and spas, a clubhouse, a fitness center, grilling areas, covered parking and HOA-maintained grounds. The HOA dues include water and trash, and the minimum rental period is 30 days.The location is just as good. It's in the Sunrise Park neighborhood, steps from Alejo Road and minutes from downtown dining, the Convention Center, the casino, Sunrise Park and the airport. You're close to everything without living in the middle of the crowds.End unit. Upper floor. Fee land. Open views. This one won't wait.
