Rancho Mirage Resort Living
High-end residential developments and several charming neighborhood communities tucked away in the cove areas of the surrounding Santa Rosa Mountains are now defining characteristics of Rancho Mirage—as bighorn sheep, dates and resorts had been during much of the 20th century. Incorporated in 1973, Rancho Mirage is a world-class community that continues to grow.
Rancho Mirage expects its population to reach 25,900 by the year 2020.
Through the laws under which the city incorporated, Rancho Mirage is one of about 90 California cities that do not receive significant property tax revenue from property owners. Rancho Mirage is classified as a “low property tax city,” and because Rancho Mirage did not have a separate property tax prior to the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, the city is prohibited from imposing property taxes in the future without a two-thirds majority vote of its citizens.
Rancho Mirage’s country club resort-style living choices and beautiful weather have made the community an outstanding choice for retirees. Several assisted-living facilities and senior housing apartments have further made the city a viable choice for seniors.
