Our area, just east of La Quinta and south of Indio is where equestrian and agricultural ranches interface with desert resorts and country clubs.

On Monroe, we are 1 miles south of the Empire and El Dorado Polo Clubs ( famous for polo, the Coachella Music Festival, national dog shows, etc. ). Merv Griffin's Ranch, his new Griffin Ranch equestrian community, and the new golf community of the Madison Club are just to our east. When traveling south on Jefferson, Madison, or Monroe Streets, turn east ( left ) on Ave. 54 ; the Gallery is located at 82-150.
