Toscana Country Club Indian Wells – Real Estate Update

Yesterday I commented on the strong sales of custom home lots at the super-lux Madison Club in La Quinta. In the coming days I’ll be taking a look at sales in other Palm Springs area luxury communities so far this year compared to the same period of 2011.

Toscana Country Club is the last private country club to be developed in prestigious Indian Wells, one of the smallest and upscale communities in the desert. Toscana Country Club is home to two world-class Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses and some of the finest amenities in the desert.

As one of the younger clubs in the desert, Hideaway Golf Club has become a popular community that’s known for it’s active social, fitness and golf activities.
