About Watercolors

Gated 55+ affordable-housing community in La Quinta.

Watercolors is a gated, 55-and-over community of 149 single-family homes in north La Quinta, built in 2006-07 under a City of La Quinta affordable-housing program. Purchasers must be 55 or older and meet income limits tied to household size, with the La Quinta Housing Authority holding a silent second lien that runs with the property to preserve affordability. The clubhouse offers a fitness center and library; outside, residents share a resort-style pool, spa, and walking paths.
