Sun City Palm Desert was the first 55+ active adult community in the Palm Springs area, and, at almost 5,000 homes, is also the largest.

When it originally opened, the community was known as Sun City Palm Springs. Despite the fact that the development was actually 15 miles east of the city of Palm Springs, the name stuck for many years. As the community neared completion, the residents joined the nearby city of Palm Desert for their postal needs and the community name was officially changed to Sun City Palm Desert.
