We own in ORPS (Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs). We are currently in our mid 50,s and have owned there about 14 years. We are there about 4 to 5 months of the year although we normally come and go as we make trips to other places in the southwest. This year we stayed put as we had a month in Portugal planned.
Orps was a very good choice for us. You can never be bored in Palm Springs. Hiking galore, biking trails everywhere, we golf about once per week, shopping, festivals regularly, within the resort there is a good 18 hole par 3 and a fun 9 hole, 14 tennis courts and pickle ball courts, top notch Gym, nine swimming pools, good security. I think we pay around 375 per month ish for strata fees. That includes golf till you drop though. We rent it out to friends when we don’t use it. There has been a generational turnover in the last couple years. About 150 lots have changed hands in the last couple years. There are no age restrictions and RV’s must be in “pride of ownership” condition. Prices seem to be up a bit although I’m not really in touch with that. I would think somewhere between 50 and 150k would get you a nice lot. It’s all about location. There are a couple of really nice club houses, owners lounge. Theatre. Everything is first rate and there is no deferred maintenance. Only advice. Don’t buy a cheap lot in a bad location. It makes it hard to sell when it’s time to move on.
Good luck in your quest.
