Riverside County, California, is the fourth largest county in California and the tenth largest in the United States. It covers more than 7,300 square miles and is home to 2.4 million residents. Riverside County was created in 1893 from parts of San Diego and San Bernardino counties. The county’s name comes from the City of Riverside, which was named in 1871. To the east lies the vibrant Coachella Valley, home to Desert Hot Springs, a city renowned as a world-class wellness destination and the "spa city" of the desert.

Desert Hot Springs spans 30 square miles and serves as a strategic gateway between the Coachella Valley and the high desert leading to Joshua Tree National Park. Known for its "Healing Oasis," it features a unique collection of boutique spa resorts sitting atop a world-famous natural mineral water aquifer. Together, these regions form a hub of activity across Riverside County, located roughly 100 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. While Riverside is celebrated as the "City of Arts and Innovation," Desert Hot Springs is gaining recognition for its rapid growth, housing 34,000 residents and offering natural landmarks like the Mission Creek Preserve and Cabot’s Pueblo Museum.


The Inland Empire and Coachella Valley feature a network of innovation centers that drive investment and job growth. Riverside has experienced $1.5 billion in private investment in the past five years, while Desert Hot Springs has become a primary engine for the region's hospitality and renewable energy expansion. As a key player in the Coachella Valley’s $9 billion tourism economy, Desert Hot Springs has attracted significant investment in specialized wellness resorts and green energy initiatives, cementing its status as a vital health and sustainability hub.

Both cities offer a more affordable alternative to major coastal hubs like Los Angeles. In Desert Hot Springs, the local economy is buoyed by a flourishing health-and-wellness sector, with city initiatives focused on small business incentives and infrastructure. To support this growth, the region is benefiting from major infrastructure improvements across Riverside County, including the expansion of the Palm Springs International Airport to enhance global connectivity. This collaborative economic environment across the Riverside-Coachella Valley corridor makes the region a premier choice for entrepreneurs and businesses looking for a resilient, business-friendly climate in Southern California.

Recreation & entertainment
Anchored by two historic performing arts centers, downtown Riverside offers the best in nightlife and entertainment, including the famed Festival of Lights. Complementing Riverside’s urban cultural scene, Desert Hot Springs offers premier wellness and outdoor recreation. It is home to some of the purest natural hot and cold mineral springs in the world and provides extensive hiking trails that showcase the Coachella Valley’s rugged beauty. Between Riverside’s lively restaurant scene and the tranquil "spa city" appeal of Desert Hot Springs, the area offers a diverse quality of life that caters to both urban energy and restorative desert tranquility.
