my living room

UPDATE: Condo is in escrow, after just 12 days on the market! Keeping my fingers crossed! Oh, and looking for an apartment in L.A.

Departing from the usual rant and roll of this or that, today I’m focused on commerce, specifically my own real estate listing.

That’s right, my Palm Springs condo is on the market (MLS Listing #41428157). I’ll be moving back to Los Angeles, for many reasons.

If you’re interested, please click on the link above for all the pictures and the description.

What I would like to do here is give my own reasons why this is such a great place to live – assuming you’re looking for a place in Palm Springs.

The condo itself:
- has an extra room that can be either a bedroom (with a full closet), a guest room, or an office, which is what I usually use it for.
  - additionally, I made an extra closet in the main bedroom into a little home office set-up, perfect for the weekend desert rat or to be used if the other room is being used as a bedroom or guest room.
  It also brings down cheapest generic tadalafil blood pressure and squeezes the blood vessels.

It is the best buy viagra in stores https://regencygrandenursing.com/employment/employment-application herbal pill to boost semen load and enjoy enhanced sexual pleasure in the climax. They have viagra pharmacy also been linked to rashes, blurred vision, muscle cramps, fatigue and sexual dysfunction.
- It has a washer/dryer in the unit, which I had plumbed and wired just a year ago for this purpose. Believe me, it’s so much nicer than having to go to the complex laundry across the road.
- All the units here have private yards – in my case, I went the extra step and put in a final wall and garden gate so that it’s totally enclosed and private, perfect for a pet, parties, nude sunbathing (hey, this is PS!) or what have you. If I would be here another winter, I’d be getting one of those nifty firepit dishes.
- The condo is located in the center of the complex – which means it’s steps away from the parking area, the carports, the dumpster (well, who wants to cart the garbage all over the place?) and best of all, the pool/spa/clubhouse. I often go over for night swims and it’s like my private pool, since no one is around. Heaven!

- the benefits of the complex’s location are many, here are a few that are important to me:
  - it’s on the south end of town, meaning OUT OF THE WIND, for the most part.
  - No airport noise.
  - Adjacent to Warm Sands Resort Area, which you know about already if you’re gay. If you’re not, it’s the extremely well-kept area of a lot of gay resorts
  - Walkable to downtown. Or bikeable. Also walkable to a big shopping area which has a Ralphs, a Starbucks, a Subway, a CVS, a Carl’s Jr., a Jamba Juice, a Domino’s, and more. Across the street from there is another shopping area with a bakery, a natural foods store, and many more businesses.
  - Across yet another road from this shopping area (and also walkable from the condo) is Sunrise Park, where the city library is located, as well as the stadium, a skate park, and the big municipal pool, for those who like doing laps. About a block or so beyond that is the Camelot Theater, which is an art house in the desert. Next to it is where they locate the Saturday Farmers’ Market.
For those recreationally-minded:
- I’m not much of a golfer or a tennis guy, but please know both those sports abound out here in the desert and from what I understand it’s pretty much a paradise for both.
- Palm Springs is a bike and hike paradise – the city keeps many bike routes marked, and on a number of streets the sidewalk doubles as a bike path. And, except for a few areas (like Cathedral City Cove) it’s as flat as a pancake, which is good for biking.
- For hiking, Palm Springs is blessed with a number of wilderness areas in easy reach. In addition to Mount San Jacinto, which you can hike up or tram up (to amazing trails at 10,000 feet) there is the Whitewater Preserve, the Morongo Preserve, Joshua Tree National Park, the Mecca Hills, etc. truly an amazing variety of trails for the beginner to the expert.
PS is now a year-round destination. It used to be that businesses closed in the summer but now Palm Springs and the other desert cities have such large permanent resident populations this is no longer the case. Pool resorts and restaurants just turn on the misters! If it gets too hot, a quick trip up the tram lowers the temperature by 30-40 degrees and you’re in a beautiful alpine forest. Idyllwild is a short drive away, and if you’re set on going to the beach, you can get to Laguna in two hours or less.
