The houses in Palm Springs North
Half the homes in Palm Springs North were built by 1965, 96% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that age, many houses are on their second set of gutters or due for one, and the fascia board behind them is worth checking at the same visit. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
91% of households own their home, and 94% of homes are detached houses, 4% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
