About Joshua Tree

Desert Bohemia & Natural Wonder

Joshua Tree, often simply called JT by locals, is a captivating desert community and the gateway to the renowned Joshua Tree National Park. Nestled in Southern California's high desert at about 2,700 ft elevation, the town is celebrated for its iconic yucca-like trees, stark rock formations, and star-studded skies. What sets JT apart is its vibrant creative culture: think art galleries, sound-bath studios, the whimsical World Famous Crochet Museum, and sprawling outdoor art installations at the Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum.

Living in Joshua Tree Village is a blend of serene desert living and vibrant community energy. The area offers a variety of housing, with styles ranging from mid-century cottages to modern, artist-designed dwellings. Many residents are creatives, outdoor enthusiasts, and free-thinkers drawn by the natural beauty and slower pace of life. Outdoor recreation is part of the daily fabric: hiking, climbing, stargazing, off-roading, and desert festivals are commonplace.
