About this home
This South Palm Springs home is now off-market — but the page stays up because the value-add story is worth keeping in writing.
The opportunity that was
2210 Marguerite Street — a 1,000-square-foot, three-bedroom mid-century built in 1961, sitting in the Cathedral Canyon Country Club neighborhood with the kind of bones that reward a careful renovation. Estimated value range at the time it left the market: $446,000 – $720,000 (about $559/sqft at the midpoint).
The pitch was straightforward — investor, flipper, or owner-occupant looking to create value in a premier location. Solid structure, efficient layout, mid-century proportions. The kind of canvas that catches the attention of anyone who's recently finished a Palm Springs project and is hunting for the next one.
Why the comps mattered
Renovated homes throughout Marguerite Street and the surrounding Crossley Tract blocks have been trading well into the $800,000 – $1,000,000+ range. The arithmetic was simple: acquire at value, modernize tastefully, exit at a number the comps were already making for you.
The location
Adjacent to golf-course communities, walkable to South Palm Canyon Drive shopping and dining, minutes to downtown Palm Springs and the Indian Canyons trailheads. A bike-and-walking trail runs directly behind the property — convenient for cycling, jogging, and the kind of desert mornings you buy a Palm Springs house for.

About this area
South Palm Springs (92264) is the quieter half of the city — Indian Canyons trailheads to the south, downtown Palm Springs ten minutes north, and a network of mid-century neighborhoods between them. The Cathedral Canyon Country Club pocket sits east of the airport on a tract platted in the early 1960s that's seen steady renewal as the renovation market caught on.
Walkable to South Palm Canyon Drive's shops and restaurants. Minutes to Smoke Tree Commons, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway base, and the Saturday morning Palm Springs Farmers Market. The Joshua Tree National Park gateway is about 45 minutes north.
