Thank you so much for these pictures! We are moving there in the next couple of months and couldn’t really find anything else. I see that you homeschool but I have a 16 yr old sophomore…do you have any scoop on the local high school? I hs’ed my older son for a while but my daughter doesn’t seem to happy with the idea at this point!

I don’t know about ants. There are some but I don’t think any of us have gotten bitten by them. I see them more in the dirt areas and not so much on grass. Roaches are here…and crickets. Although it’s weird that I’ve hardly seen any crickets this year and last year they were everywhere. If you live where there is grass and trees you will also have flies! If you live in housing, you can call periodically and have pest control come out and spray around your house. That has mostly helped to keep the crickets and spiders out of our house. The roaches…eh…I get like one or two a week. I hope you like living here. It takes some getting used to…and moving here in the summer is hard. We’ve grown to love it though. Melissa

The newer ones are just a few years old. The older ones are probably from the 70’s but were remodeled in the 90’s. Lincoln does continually do things to them to keep up appearances and improve them. Melissa

My husband will soon graduate from Navy OCS and we found out that we will be stationed in 29 Palms. Can you tell me about any insect problems you have had? My 2 year old is allergic to ants and every time she gets bit, we end up in the emergency room.

Thanks for all the info on you site!

So glad I could be of help. Let me know if you have any questions about the area! We like living here, even through the heat and sand! Melissa

I am glad I found your blog. We are moving to 29 palms and was trying to find pictures of the housing areas which you so graciously provide. Thank you for taking the time. It really helps people like me
