Cathedral City, CA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $50,350 and a median rent of $1,241, the Cathedral City, CA rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Cathedral City, CA. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

A strong rental market! With more renters here (35%) than the state average (33%), finding a rent to own apartment or home shouldn't take too long. That way, you'll have more time to spend shopping at the Date Palm Shopping Center or dining at Cello's.

Lots of great choices for home buying! One of the greatest secrets of California living is the terrific value of homes in Cathedral City.

And, Cathedral City has even been named a top 100 Best Places to Live.

There's so much to do! If the weather is on the warmish side, there's always ice skating. Head for the Desert Ice Palace for ice skating in the summer sun, where you'll find internationally classed instructors, hockey, figure skating and free skating at a world-class facility.
