Cathedral City

The Desert Sun

The city of Cathedral City is the second largest city in the Coachella Valley, enjoying its reputation as a major business center with large vacant developable properties along Interstate 10 and the Union Pacific Railroad's transportation corridor. New homes and a newly created downtown with City Hall, an IMAX theater and a mixture of national retail chain stores and "mom and pop" businesses help make Cathedral City a small town community with big city atmosphere between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage.

Population: 50,632.   (18.7 percent growth rate since 2000)
