Old Town Yucca Valley

Centered on Highway 62 at Pioneertown Road, Old Town is the original commercial core of the town, now home to antique malls and the historic retail strip that predates the 1991 incorporation.

Yucca Mesa

An elevated residential area on the eastern edge of town known for large parcels and desert privacy, served by its own Yucca Mesa Elementary School within the Morongo Unified School District.

Sky Harbor

A residential subdivision dating to around 1970, straddling the 92252/92284 zip boundary, built out mostly with midsize single-family homes on individual wells.

Desert Christ Park area

The hillside above Sunnyslope Drive is home to Desert Christ Park, opened in the late 1940s and holding more than 40 large-scale concrete sculptures by artist Frank Antoine Martin.

Pioneertown Road corridor

The route running northwest out of Old Town toward Pioneertown, the 1946 Roy Rogers-era movie-set town four miles away, lined with rural residential parcels at the edge of Yucca Valley's town limits.

Yucca Trail / Onaga area

A residential district near Onaga Elementary School, one of three neighborhood elementary campuses the Morongo Unified School District operates within Yucca Valley town limits.
