The town has borders on both sides of Interstate 10, and the rest of the vibrant Southern California area is never more than a short drive away. Los Angeles, San Diego and Coachella Valley form a triangle of excellent business climate, ensuring continued growth and prosper.

Cathedral City is a very active community with a small town feeling regarding safety and security. One example of the town's pro-active approach is the forming of Cathedral City's own municipal Police Department in 1984. Today, Cathedral City has the lowest crime rate in the Coachella Valley. The community has managed to make the police an integral part of town life by actions such as placing the three Community Police Service Offices in busy shopping centers, offering accessibility as well as high visibility. There is also a special D.A.R.E. officer visiting the schools and talking to the pupils about drug resistance.
