Who's Built for Life in La Quinta?

Is La Quinta right for me? If you are a retired snowbird, adventure junkie, or full-blown golf fanatic, you will tee off at PGA West and catch sunset on the Santa Rosa trails. If you are a surfer, college student, or dive bar loyalist, you may quickly notice there are no waves and last call comes early.
