His collaborations read like a who's who of queer culture, featuring icons such as Miss CoCo Peru, Varla Jean Merman, Miss Richfield 1981, Dina Martina, Miss Conception, Ross Mathews, Kathy Griffin, Debby Holiday, and tribute bands honoring legends like Freddie Mercury, George Michael, and Elvis. Notably, he was a driving force behind the triumphant return of BOYZ Night OUT in the summer of 2023.

Palm Springs Real Estate: Why Palm Springs is THE Place to Live Your Best Gay Life in 2025
Discover why Palm Springs is the ultimate destination for gay men looking to relocate, invest, or vacation in paradise in 2025 and beyond. From gay-friendly neighborhoods to stunning real estate options, Palm Springs offers an unparalleled lifestyle for the LGBTQ+ community.
It’s true that Palm Springs has crystal blue skies, swaying palm trees, and a drag brunch scene that could rival any big city Pride parade. But if you’re a gay man looking to live your best life year-round, there’s simply nowhere else like Palm Springs, California. Nestled in the heart of the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs is more than just a vacation hotspot for many full and part-time locals (ourselves included) – it’s a desert oasis where gay men thrive, connect, while investing in both their community and their futures. Whether you’re contemplating a part-time getaway home or a full-time fabulous abode, Palm Springs is the place where your next chapter begins.
If you have anything you’d like to contribute to this article, please email us and let us know (and let us know why)!
In the meantime, here’s why Palm Springs is THE place to live your best gay life in 2025 (and beyond).
Why Palm Springs is the Ultimate Gay Escape (and Investment Opportunity)
Neighborhoods Tailored for You
First things first, every neighborhood in Palm Springs is as gay-friendly as a Chappell Roan concert. From the upscale Movie Colony district to the mid-century modern gems in Deepwell, there’s a perfect spot for every lifestyle and budget. The Historic Tennis Club area offers luxury and charm, while Warm Sands is known for its LGBTQ+-friendly resorts and social atmosphere. Not to mention various up-and-coming neighborhoods like Demuth Park that you have the chance to invest in and help make as fabulous as the rest.

Price Points That Won’t Break the Bank
Yes, Palm Springs is glamorous, but it’s not Beverly Hills pricing. The market has cooled a bit, home prices are now more reasonable again, and there's more inventory all around. Homes here start around $800,000 for chic mid-century masterpieces, with plenty of investment properties available for part-time living or short-term rentals. It’s the kind of place where you can get a tan, sip a Rose Kennedy (the official unofficial gay drink of Palm Springs), and watch your property value soar – all in a day's work.
Investment Opportunities Galore
Even if you can’t commit to full-time living, Palm Springs is an investor’s paradise. With year-round tourism, short-term rental properties are hotter than the desert sun. And let’s be real – who doesn’t want to own a piece of gay paradise? The ROI on vacation rentals here can help fund those dreamy European getaways. Plus, it can be a smart way to build wealth for retirement – even serving as a future retirement home where you can eventually live full-time.
Open Houses are the New Sunday Funday
Next time you’re in town, skip the poolside daiquiris for an afternoon of open house hopping. It’s not just a way to scout for real estate – it’s practically a free mini Modernism Week event. Palm Springs open houses are where you’ll meet future neighbors, potential new besties, and maybe even get inspired to redesign your next desert home.
Meet Glen – Your Palm Springs Real Estate BFF
If you’re ready or even curious about what opportunities might exist for you here, Glen Nadeau – one half of The Palm Springs Guys – is the go-to gay local Realtor in town. And we’re not just being biased. He’s been a top-producing Real Estate Agent here since 2023. And since he’s with COMPASS – the #1 ranked brokerage in the country – Glen takes great pride in knowing that his clients are in such good hands with the most robust resources on the market available to them.
Glen loves connecting and talking shop. Whether you’re curious about neighborhoods, need help navigating the market, or just want to dish about the best spots in town – don’t be shy, reach out to Glen any time. He’s lovable, knowledgeable, and ready to help you on your real estate journey. He promises to give you a much more targeted answer than ChatGPT, Google or the news ever will.

The new year is a time for fresh starts and bold decisions. Whether you’re buying your dream home or selling to embrace new opportunities, getting prepared now will set you up for success in 2025.
Even if you’re not ready to make the big move, Palm Springs is always worth a visit (or two, or ten). With endless sunny days, vibrant LGBTQ+ events, and the friendliest folks you’ll ever meet, Palm Springs is a place where community, culture, and connection thrive. Whether you come for a weekend or a lifetime, the desert welcomes you with open arms and the promise of unforgettable experiences. Embrace the journey, and let Palm Springs become a meaningful part of your next chapter.
