Desert Hot Springs, CA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $37,818 and a median rent of $1,046, the Desert Hot Springs, 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.
