Cathedral City development 1 (0785)
| |
|
Entrance to Cathedral City development, Verano. When you first drive up, it looks sort of nice, but something doesn't look quite right. If you look close, the palm trees haven't been recently trimmed, the flowers at the base of the sign look a little unkempt, and then there's that dead palm in the background. But, not too bad (see next photo)

Entrance to Cathedral City development, Verano -- from this angle, it looks pretty good (see next photo)

As you get closer into Verano, there looks to be some large and abandoned, but new, building on the hill. Turning up into a traffic circle, you what looks like an overgrown and abandoned clubhouse (see next photo)
Cathedral City development 4 (0769)

The abandoned clubhouse at Verano. It's quite large, having a 2-story central building and 2 outer buildings on each side. If you look at the aerial view, you'll see the outline of three empty pools behind it. It seems quite large considering there's about 160 houses built, but then the aerial view also shows plans for roads for many more homes (maybe a 1000). (See next photo)

Cathedral City development 8 (0774)

The abandoned clubhouse at Verano. I read on one site that the club house can't be opened until 90% of the homes at the development have been sold. Considering the small number of homes that have been sold, I doubt their HOA feels could support such a grand clubhouse. Thus the 90% comment must be referring to 90% of the intended homes.

Looking from the clubhouse towards some of the homes that have been built. The homes that exist look well-maintained, appear to be mostly occupied, and most have good landscaping

From a traffic circle on the northwest edge of Verano. As noted in the adjacent picture, the existing homes look occupied and well-maintained (see next photo)

From the same traffic circle in the adjacent photo, looking west. From the aerial view you can see the layout (including many curbs) for what would have been several hundred more homes.

Coachella Valley (3820a)
| |

On the north side of Dillon Road (north part of Coachella Valley), there's an old road that goes past some areas where people go for target practicing, and the further up you begin to come across structures like this. This is a cover on part of the Metropolitan Water District aquaduct.
Coachella Valley Preserve, Palm Springs (3801a)
