Coral Mountain, La Quinta is a desert peak and the name of the homes around it. Those homes sit in four places: Alta Verde at Coral Mountain, the gated pocket north of Avenue 58 that this page measures, Cantera at Coral Mountain and Andalusia at Coral Mountain beside it, and the 400-acre Coral Mountain Desert Club under construction south of Avenue 58. The two Coral Mountain La Quinta homes for sale on November 6, 2026 asked $1,469,000 and $1,500,000, built 2023 and 2024, and a third, listed at $1,419,000, was under contract, while the one house that closed inside the pocket between August 7 and November 6 went for $1,400,000, 93.3% of its final ask after a cut from $1,575,000, per CRMLS.
This page covers where Coral Mountain sits and why it carries the name, the four product lines, the Desert Club and the rejected wave park, power, schools, the flood and airport maps, what the homes cost against what sold, how fast they clear, the La Quinta comparison, and how to buy without overpaying.

Coral Mountain is in south La Quinta, California, where Avenue 58 meets Madison Street. The homes this page measures sit north of Avenue 58 and west of Madison Street, at the southeast corner of PGA WEST, in ZIP 92253. The Coral Mountain Desert Club site lies “south of Avenue 58, north of Avenue 60, and east and west of Madison Street,” per the State Clearinghouse record, with Cantera at Coral Mountain south of the avenue and Andalusia at Coral Mountain east of Madison.
The fixed points around Coral Mountain, La Quinta:
Coral Mountain sits under the La Quinta hub on this site.
Coral Mountain is called Coral Mountain for the tufa on the boulders at its base, not for coral. Tufa “has formed on the boulders and rocks at the base of Coral Mountain during the various stands of ancient Lake Cahuilla,” and the former shoreline of Holocene Lake Cahuilla is visible on the mountain, per the CRM TECH cultural report filed with the 2021 Draft EIR. The Coral Mountain Rock Art Complex, petroglyph panels “pecked into tufa” on those boulders, was judged eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources in the same report.
Three things define Coral Mountain housing stock: mostly new construction, three and four bedrooms around 2,700 to 2,900 square feet, and four product lines that share one name. The pocket this page measures sold one house between August 7 and November 6, 2026, a 2021 single-story four-bedroom of 2,863 square feet at $1,400,000, per CRMLS, and its three listings on November 6, one of them under contract, were built 2021 to 2024 at 2,708 to 2,928 square feet. Andalusia at Coral Mountain, east of Madison Street, sits “on over 525 expansive acres,” is “developed and managed by Sunrise Company,” plays an 18-hole Rees Jones course and recorded “39 community sales in 2025,” per Andalusia Country Club.
The four Coral Mountain product lines:
Alta Verde at Coral Mountain is the gated enclave of single-story modern houses north of Avenue 58 that this page measures, entered from Madison Street, and its listings market PGA WEST social memberships with the homes, per CRMLS. Its 2026 record is one closing and three listings, one of them under contract: houses built 2021 to 2024, 2,708 to 2,928 square feet on 8,712-to-9,148-square-foot lots, closed at $1,400,000 and asking $1,419,000 to $1,500,000.
Cantera at Coral Mountain is the gated Beazer Homes community south of Avenue 58, on levee-protected ground, and the nearest Coral Mountain community with a closed sample. Its four closings between August 7 and November 6, 2026 were 2023-and-2024 single-story houses of 2,179 to 2,333 square feet on 10,019-to-13,504-square-foot lots, closed at $755,000 to $1,095,000 after 28 to 142 days, 3 of 4 under their original ask, per CRMLS; 7 more were for sale on November 6 at $890,000 to $1,449,000.
Coral Mountain Desert Club is a private club under construction on about 400 acres at Avenue 58 and Madison Street in La Quinta, built around an 18-hole David McLay Kidd course and a trail network into “more than 20,000 acres of adjacent public land,” per Golf Course Architecture. Membership is by invitation (see the membership question below).
Meriwether announced construction under way on April 9, 2026, with “the first amenities, golf course, and wave basin … slated for completion in 2028,” Kidd calling the course “my first original work in Southern California,” and the 48-chamber wave basin placed off site at Thermal Beach Club, “less than 10 minutes from the club,” per the developer’s announcement.
The Coral Mountain Desert Club timeline:
The La Quinta City Council rejected the Coral Mountain wave park 5-0 on September 21, 2022 over water. The fight was “whether the wave basin would be an appropriate use of water amid a historic drought,” per The Desert Sun as carried by the Water Education Foundation, on “a roughly $200 million private development mapped for 386 acres of vacant land on the southwest corner of 58th Avenue and Madison Street.”
Imperial Irrigation District provides electricity in Coral Mountain, La Quinta, not Southern California Edison. The City of La Quinta is on the list of Riverside County communities IID serves under its 1934 Agreement of Compromise with the Coachella Valley Water District, a 99-year power lease “ending on December 31, 2033,” per the Imperial County LAFCO energy study, which put IID’s 2020 average residential rate at $0.1616 a kilowatt-hour against $0.2513 for Edison. Water comes from the Coachella Valley Water District.
What the utility file means for a Coral Mountain buyer:
The Coral Mountain site south of Avenue 58 is in Coachella Valley Unified School District, per the State Clearinghouse record for the Desert Club proposal; the pocket north of the avenue was not located on either district’s published map. Desert Sands Unified serves other parts of La Quinta, so the district line runs near this page’s streets.
Run both locators with a Santo Thomas address before you write; this page names no school:
No, the Coral Mountain pocket this page measures is not in a flood zone: FEMA maps it as Zone X, “area of minimal flood hazard,” in TKG point queries of the National Flood Hazard Layer. Cantera at Coral Mountain and the Desert Club site south of Avenue 58 map as Zone X “reduced flood risk due to levee,” on FIRM panel 06065C2900G dated August 28, 2008, with the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel as the receiving water, per the Draft EIR’s water quality management plan. Verify by parcel: a levee-protected zone carries a different disclosure than a minimal-hazard zone, and no fire hazard severity zone was located for the site, so check the state fire marshal’s viewer as well.
Coral Mountain, La Quinta sits about 5.5 miles west of Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal, and airport noise depends on the parcel’s distance from the runway. The Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission’s 2023 compatibility plan applies a 60 dB CNEL policy for new residential use near the airport, places La Quinta’s southern extension within 3 miles west of it, and plans to extend Runway 17-35 to 10,000 feet, per the Airport Land Use Commission. Check the parcel against the plan’s noise contours before you write.
Coral Mountain, La Quinta is reached by Avenue 58, Avenue 60 and Madison Street, “existing public arterial roads,” with regional access from Interstate 10 and Highway 111 via Madison and Monroe Streets, per the 2021 Draft EIR, which also planned Class II golf-cart routes on Avenue 58, Avenue 60 and Madison.
The approaches to Coral Mountain:
Coral Mountain homes cost $1,400,000 on the one 2026 closing in the pocket this page measures and ask $1,469,000 and $1,500,000 on its two active listings: the closing, between August 7 and November 6, 2026, was a 2021 four-bedroom of 2,863 square feet at 80708 Castillo Del Areana, and the two were for sale on November 6, with a third, listed at $1,419,000, under contract, per CRMLS. One sale is too few for a pocket median, so the dollar benchmark is La Quinta south of Highway 111, the MLS area that holds the pocket: 126 closings at a median $999,500, the midpoint of the two middle sales at $999,000 and $1,000,000, and $413 per square foot over the same window.
Comparison figures leave out off-market sales entered in CRMLS for comps only; none of the Coral Mountain sales on this page was one.
Where south La Quinta’s 126 sales landed over the same window:
That puts the pocket’s one closing above the south La Quinta median of $999,500, in a band where 28 of 126 sales landed.
Seven Coral Mountain homes sold in the last 90 days in the three built Coral Mountain lines, all single-story and all built 2007 to 2024, per CRMLS:
| Coral Mountain closing | community | built | sq ft | closed | final list | original list | days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 81940 Andalusia | Andalusia at Coral Mountain | 2019 | 3,253 | $2,700,000 | $2,890,000 | $2,890,000 | 0 |
| 58380 Aracena | Andalusia at Coral Mountain | 2007 | 3,701 | $2,020,000 | $2,195,000 | $2,250,000 | 290 |
| 80708 Castillo Del Areana | Alta Verde (this page’s pocket) | 2021 | 2,863 | $1,400,000 | $1,499,900 | $1,575,000 | 53 |
| 80314 Segovia View Way | Cantera at Coral Mountain | 2024 | 2,333 | $1,095,000 | $1,095,000 | $1,095,000 | 48 |
| 80336 Palatine Court | Cantera at Coral Mountain | 2023 | 2,179 | $999,000 | $999,000 | $1,199,000 | 142 |
| 80367 Segovia View Way | Cantera at Coral Mountain | 2024 | 2,179 | $990,000 | $1,035,000 | $1,150,000 | 139 |
| 80275 Vera Cruz Court | Cantera at Coral Mountain | 2024 | 2,333 | $755,000 | $825,000 | $825,000 | 28 |
CRMLS closings, August 7 to November 6, 2026, single-family, point-in-polygon on each community’s boundary. The Coral Mountain homes sold sit in three tiers: Cantera under $1,200,000, the pocket at $1,400,000 and Andalusia at $2,020,000 to $2,700,000.
Asking prices in Coral Mountain sit above the one closing: the two pocket homes for sale on November 6, 2026 asked $1,469,000 and $1,500,000, $542 and $512 per square foot, and the third, under contract, was listed at $1,419,000, $496 per square foot, against the $1,400,000 and $489 per square foot that 80708 Castillo Del Areana closed at on September 4, per CRMLS. The main difference is the cut: the closing started at $1,575,000, dropped to $1,499,900 and closed at $1,400,000 after 53 days, 88.9% of its original ask, while the two asks had sat 70 and 97 days. The listing under contract matches the closing’s 2,863 square feet, so price an offer off the closing and its cuts, not the asking tape.
Two Coral Mountain La Quinta homes for sale on November 6, 2026 sat inside the pocket, per CRMLS, with a third under contract; this page’s feed shows the same three listings:
No, Coral Mountain homes do not sell above asking price: 0 of the 7 that closed across the three product lines in the 90 days ending November 6, 2026 sold above list price, 2 closed at list, both in Cantera, and 5 closed below it, per CRMLS, and the pocket’s one closing went at 93.3% of its final ask. The published sale-to-list ratio is south La Quinta’s, since one sale is too few for a pocket ratio: a recency-weighted 97.1% of list across 126 closings, with 13 of 126 above list and 102 of 126 under their original ask.
Coral Mountain’s seven 2026 closings sold at three speeds:
6 of the 7 Coral Mountain homes that closed across the three product lines in the 90 days ending November 6, 2026 sold below their original asking price, per CRMLS, and 4 of the 7 sellers cut the list price at least once before closing. The widest gaps were in Cantera: 80336 Palatine Court closed at 83.3% of its $1,199,000 original ask after 142 days, and 80367 Segovia View Way at 86.1% of $1,150,000 after 139 days.
Coral Mountain homes took 53 days to sell on the pocket’s one closing and a median 93.5 days across Cantera’s four, the midpoint between its two middle closings at 48 and 139 days, per CRMLS closings between August 7 and November 6, 2026. That compares with a south La Quinta median of 56 days across 126 sales. South La Quinta sold 19 of its 126 homes within two weeks over that window and 76 took 45 days or longer; Coral Mountain’s seven closings sold 1 within two weeks, an Andalusia house, and 5 took 45 days or longer.
Coral Mountain, La Quinta is a buyer’s market. The signals through November 6, 2026, per CRMLS: 0 of 7 Coral Mountain closings above list, 6 of 7 under their original price, 5 of 7 taking 45 days or longer, and the pocket’s two active listings sitting 70 and 97 days. La Quinta south of Highway 111 reads as a buyer’s market by the same measures.
The four balance indicators for Coral Mountain:
Coral Mountain’s pocket has two active listings against one sale, and south La Quinta has 7.2 months of supply. The 301 listings active south of Highway 111 on November 6, 2026, divided by the 126 closings over the prior 92 days (41.6 a month), equals 7.2 months, per CRMLS, with 111 of the 301 past 60 days. The pocket’s 2 active listings against 1 closing in the same window is a count, not a rate; Cantera, the nearest community with a sample, carried 7 listings against 4 closings, 5.3 months, directional.
Coral Mountain compares to other La Quinta communities as among the newest houses in a slow, cash-heavy market, per CRMLS closings between August 7 and November 6, 2026. South of Highway 111, 126 houses closed at a median $999,500 in a median 56 days, 55 of them recorded as cash and 102 of them under their original ask. The pocket’s own row is one sale and Cantera’s is four, so their dollar medians are not published here; the area rows are the numbers to price against.
| La Quinta community or area | Sales | Median sale | Sale-to-list | Median days | Per sq ft | Active |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| La Quinta south of Highway 111 (MLS area) | 126 | $999,500 | 97.1% | 56 | $413 | 301 |
| La Quinta north of Highway 111 (MLS area) | 24 | $561,000 | 96.8% | 39 | $270 | 50 |
| La Quinta Cove (community label) | 33 | $500,000 | 98.1% | 53 | $339 | 61 |
| Trilogy at La Quinta (community label) | 16 | $650,000 | 96.3% | 106.5 | $335 | 34 |
| Cantera at Coral Mountain (page boundary, thin sample) | 4 | not published | 96.8% raw | 93.5 | not published | 7 |
| Andalusia at Coral Mountain (page boundary, thin sample) | 2 | not published | 92.7% raw | 0 and 290 | not published | 9 |
| Coral Mountain pocket, Alta Verde (page boundary, thin sample) | 1 | not published | 93.3% raw | 53 | not published | 2 |
CRMLS closings, August 7 to November 6, 2026, single-family, raw figures; actives as of November 6. Cantera’s 93.5 median days is the midpoint of its two middle closings, at 48 and 139 days; Andalusia’s cell gives its two closings, not a median. Two reads from the table:
Most La Quinta communities are cheaper than Coral Mountain on the closed record. La Quinta north of Highway 111 closed 24 houses at a $561,000 median, La Quinta Cove 33 at $500,000 and Trilogy at La Quinta 16 at $650,000 between August 7 and November 6, 2026, per CRMLS, all below the pocket’s $1,400,000 closing and Cantera’s $755,000-to-$1,095,000 range; south of Highway 111 as a whole, 63 of 126 closings came in under $1,000,000. Trilogy at La Quinta is a 55-and-over community about 1.6 miles south of the pocket.
To buy a home in Coral Mountain, La Quinta without overpaying, run three moves before the first offer: price the house by sub-community off the closed tape, read the club and association file, and price the construction timeline next door. A buyer strategy consult runs all three before the first showing.
Objective: anchor the offer to what Coral Mountain buyers paid in the same product line. Signal: $489 per square foot on the pocket’s one closing against $512 and $542 on its two active asks and $496 on the one under contract, $324 to $469 across Cantera’s four closings, and $546 to $830 across Andalusia’s two, per CRMLS through November 6, 2026. Risk: pricing an Alta Verde pocket house against an Andalusia closing because both say Coral Mountain. Play: pull the closings for the same sub-community, build year and size, set the band per square foot, and open from that band.
Objective: know what the house includes and what it does not. Signal: Desert Club membership by invitation, a separate club at Andalusia, and association dues to confirm on every line. Risk: a membership, a rental income or a tax line that the file does not support. Play: the HOA disclosure with dues and reserves, the club’s membership terms in writing, the county tax bill for special assessments, and the specific community’s short-term rental status verified with the city. The off-market channel adds houses where the file can be read before a listing posts.
Objective: no surprises after acceptance. Signal: a 400-acre club under construction across Avenue 58 with first amenities slated for 2028, an airport noise policy at 60 dB CNEL, and a levee-protected flood zone south of the avenue. Risk: paying today for a club that opens in 2028 or for quiet that a 10,000-foot runway changes. Play: four checks for any Coral Mountain address, run before the offer deadline:
2 Coral Mountain homes were for sale inside the pocket on November 6, 2026, per CRMLS, asking $1,469,000 and $1,500,000, built in 2023 and 2024, and a third, listed at $1,419,000, was under contract; the live grid on this page updates as listings change.
Partly: Alta Verde at Coral Mountain, the gated pocket north of Avenue 58 and west of Madison Street, sits at the southeast corner of PGA WEST and its listings market PGA WEST social memberships, but it is a separate gated enclave on the record TKG found; Andalusia at Coral Mountain, Cantera at Coral Mountain and the Coral Mountain Desert Club are separate communities; Andalusia and the Desert Club run their own clubs.
Not at Coral Mountain itself: the City Council rejected the 16.62-acre wave basin in 2022, and the Desert Club’s 48-chamber wave basin is off site at Thermal Beach Club for club members, slated for 2028, per the developer (see the rejected wave park question above).
No, buying a Coral Mountain home does not include club membership. Coral Mountain Desert Club membership is “by invitation only,” and buying a home does not grant club access, per the developer’s site; Andalusia Country Club offers Golf and Sports Club memberships, per the club. Get the membership terms in writing before you price them into an offer.
Coral Mountain, La Quinta is in ZIP code 92253. The two Coral Mountain homes for sale on November 6, 2026, the one under contract and the Desert Club site at Avenue 58 and Madison Street all carry La Quinta’s 92253 ZIP code.
A normal July day at Coral Mountain reaches 106.9 degrees. NOAA’s climate normals for the Thermal airport station, about 5.5 miles east of Coral Mountain, put the July normal high at 106.9 degrees Fahrenheit and the low at 75.6; August runs 106.2 and 74.9, June 103.0 and 69.1, and January 71.0 and 39.0.
This is not a conversation about touring. It is about whether the number you plan to write is anchored to the closings in the right sub-community or to the name on the sign, and whether it carries a 2028 club, a membership by invitation and a levee-zone disclosure the listing never mentioned. That is where Coral Mountain buyers keep or give away six figures.
Book a buyer strategy consult and leave with a price band for the sub-community you want, the club and utility read, and the four timeline checks already run. Or call 310-409-7242.
Next move: send the address. We will pressure-test it.
