INTRODUCTION
Del Webb Desert Retreat marks the triumphant return of Del Webb to Indio and the Greater Palm Springs region, where the builder has delivered more than 10,000 homes throughout the Coachella Valley over its long and celebrated history. This is the newest and most anticipated 55+ active adult community in the desert, celebrating its Grand Opening in November 2025 and actively building out what will become one of the largest and most comprehensive active adult neighborhoods in the valley.
Located on 378 acres in North Indio north of Avenue 40 between Jefferson and Madison Streets, Del Webb Desert Retreat is a naturally stunning site surrounded by the dramatic mountain landscape that defines the Coachella Valley. Upon completion, the community will feature up to 1,500 single-family homes across 10 customizable floor plans in three distinct series, creating one of the most significant retirement community milestones in the region's history.
The resort-style clubhouse broke ground on June 18, 2026 in a ceremony attended by Norman Brown, PulteGroup's Southern California Division President, and Elaine Holmes, Mayor of the City of Indio. When complete, it will serve as the social and recreational heart of the community, housing a fitness center, aerobics studio, indoor golf simulator, ballroom, arts and billiards rooms, food and beverage bar, and a great room. Outdoors, residents will gather at the resort-style pool and spa, outdoor fireplace terrace, event lawn, putting green, and athletic courts for pickleball, tennis, and bocce. Walking trails will wind around ponds and greenspaces throughout the community.
This is a rare opportunity to buy into a brand new Del Webb 55+ community at the ground floor in the Coachella Valley, a chance that has not existed since Del Webb Rancho Mirage closed out in 2024.

HISTORY
Del Webb Desert Retreat represents a landmark moment in the Coachella Valley's active adult real estate market. Del Webb, the pioneer of active adult communities in America since 1960, has a long and celebrated history in the valley, having delivered more than 10,000 homes through communities including Sun City Palm Desert, Sun City Shadow Hills, and Del Webb Rancho Mirage.
When Del Webb Rancho Mirage closed out in 2024, the valley was left without a new Del Webb active adult community for the first time in decades. Del Webb Desert Retreat changes that in the most significant way possible. The Indio City Council approved the community in a unanimous 4-0 vote with a 15-year development agreement. Del Webb committed $5.5 million toward an IID electrical substation to support the new community.
Construction began in 2024 and the community celebrated its Grand Opening in November 2025. The resort-style clubhouse broke ground on June 18, 2026 in a ceremony attended by PulteGroup leadership and City of Indio Mayor Elaine Holmes.
As Norman Brown, PulteGroup's Southern California Division President, stated at the clubhouse groundbreaking: "The clubhouse will be so much more than just an amenity center. It represents the heart of the community and the lifestyle our residents are looking for."
