We have been in a new home built in the older section of Indio East for just over one year. If you plan to look or buy here, be aware of several issues:
1. Indigo East is not really gated. It has NON-attended gates that require no "sticker" or resident card to enter. Half the time, they are just open.
2. Even though we are across the street from the new construction, the dirt is plentiful as is the noise from 80th Avenue, which may become a 4-laned highway. There are very few areas that even have hedgerows as "noise buffers."
3. The construction of these homes may seem solid, but is not. OTOW is building homes as fast as they can; they are short on supervisors as well as workers; thus, you can expect continued issues with your home, such as the dozens and dozens (we've even heard reports of hundreds) of cracks that continually develop in the stucco (far more than basic settling). This is merely one issue you'll face.

We probably should have done our more research, but since we're here for now, we're enjoying the walking trails and workout facilities.
