La Quinta, California
La Quinta Real Estate Agent
Guard-gated golf, country club, and active-adult property in south La Quinta.
La Quinta is the Coachella Valley's country club city. Almost everything a buyer looks at here sits behind a gate: PGA West and its four private clubs, The Hideaway, Griffin Ranch, The Citrus Club, Andalusia, Tradition, Madison Club, and the 55-and-over side of the market at Trilogy La Quinta. Which gate you choose determines your dues, your club obligation, and how the home resells — far more than the square footage does.
Galina Tucker works La Quinta out of Compass's El Paseo office in Palm Desert, about twenty minutes north. Her La Quinta book runs both sides of this market: resale in Duna La Quinta and PGA West, and the seasonal rental side that most agents here treat as an afterthought. That matters in a city where a large share of owners rent their home out for part of the season, because the rental number is part of what the property is worth.
The market figures on this page come straight from active listings and closed sales rather than being typed in by hand, and are refreshed periodically so the ranges stay current.

La Quinta Questions
Buying and Selling in La Quinta
What does a home in La Quinta cost?
The median asking price across active La Quinta listings and the median of the last year of closed sales are both rendered live at the top of this page, along with the full range. La Quinta spans a very wide band — entry-level condos in the Cove through eight-figure estates in Madison Club and The Hideaway — so the median is a starting point, not a guide to any one community.
How much are HOA dues in La Quinta?
The monthly range and median across current La Quinta listings are shown above, converted to a monthly figure where dues are billed quarterly or annually. Expect wide spread: a small non-club HOA can run under $200 a month, while a full-amenity guard-gated club community with golf runs several times that, and club membership is usually a separate obligation on top of dues. Read the CC&Rs and the current reserve study before relying on the number on a listing sheet.
Is Galina Tucker a country club and guard-gated specialist in La Quinta?
Yes. Her La Quinta transactions are in Duna La Quinta, PGA West (PGA Palmer Private), Trilogy, Codorniz, Piazza Serena, Acacia at La Quinta, and the La Quinta Cove, and she maintains community write-ups for PGA West, The Hideaway, Griffin Ranch, and The Citrus Club. Her closed La Quinta record is counted out live below rather than summarized, so you can see exactly what it is.
Does Galina handle 55+ and active-adult property in La Quinta?
Yes. Trilogy La Quinta is the city's main active-adult community and she has transacted there. She also works Sun City Palm Desert, the Valley's largest 55+ community, where her closed volume is heavier.
Can she help with a seasonal rental in La Quinta?
Yes, and it's a real part of her La Quinta practice rather than a courtesy. Most of her La Quinta transactions to date are on the lease side, in PGA West, Trilogy, Duna La Quinta, and elsewhere, which is also how she reads what a given home can earn in season.
Where is she based, and does she actually cover La Quinta?
She is based at Compass, 74-199 El Paseo Drive, Suite 200, Palm Desert — about twenty minutes from central La Quinta. Her heaviest closed volume is in Palm Desert; La Quinta and Rancho Mirage are the next two. She is licensed valley-wide, CA DRE# 02024269.
