Storyliving by Disney, the Cotino Project, Rancho Mirage
Discover Cotino: A One-of-a-Kind Community Inspired by Disney in Rancho Mirage
Step into a whole new kind of desert living. Cotino, the first residential development under the Storyliving by Disney™ brand, is coming to life in the heart of the Coachella Valley. Located in Rancho Mirage, California, this 618-acre master-planned community offers luxury, imagination, and that unmistakable Disney touch.
At full buildout, Cotino will feature 1,932 homes and is centered around a spectacular 24-acre swimmable lagoon—now fully built and shimmering with crystal-clear waters. Designed as a gathering space for both relaxation and recreation, this desert oasis is the heart of the community.
Developed in partnership with Arizona-based DMB Development and top-tier builders Shea Homes, Davidson Communities, and Woodbridge Pacific Group, Cotino is redefining resort-style living in Southern California.

Longtable Park: A 55+ Oasis
The Longtable Park Residences are designed for residents 55 and over and include 155 homes within a dedicated area of the community. At least one resident must be 55+, and guests under 45 may stay for no more than 60 days per year. This area also features its own community gathering hub and is named in honor of Walt Disney’s love of bringing people together over long tables.
The Lagoon: Now Open and Operational
The showpiece of Cotino is officially complete and ready for enjoyment—a 24-acre turquoise lagoon, powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology. Residents now enjoy a one-of-a-kind beach experience right in the desert, with soft white sand, swimmable waters, and activities like kayaking and paddleboarding.
This cutting-edge lagoon uses significantly less water than a traditional golf course, with an eco-friendly filtration system that ensures beauty and sustainability.
