About Palmdale, CA

Palmdale was the first city in the Antelope Valley to incorporate, in 1962, and more than 160,000 people live here today, from east Palmdale to the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Browse local businesses that serve Palmdale, from HVAC and plumbing to auto repair, salons and tax help, each one checked by our team before it goes live.

Palmdale is the valley's aerospace hub. Air Force Plant 42 is home to Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, and Northrop Grumman and Boeing work there too.

At about 2,600 feet, the city gets the full high-desert range: roughly 36 days a year at 100°F or more and around 54 freezing nights (NOAA averages). Cooling, heating, roofing and insulation all matter here.

Most homes in Palmdale are single-family houses, and about a third were built in the 1980s. As they age, water heaters, air conditioners, roofs and pipes come due, so it pays to know a good local pro before you need one.

Palmdale listings also include tire and auto shops, salons, insurance agents, property managers and pet services. Each page shows the business's phone number and service areas, and you can send a request from it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Palmdale near the San Andreas Fault?
Yes. The San Andreas Fault crosses Highway 14 just north of the Avenue S exit, and the folded rock in the freeway roadcut there has a historical marker at the Lamont Odett Vista Point. California law requires water heaters to be strapped against earthquakes, and a plumber can check yours while they're out.
How hot and cold does Palmdale get?
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 averages for the Palmdale airport station show about 36 days a year at 100°F or above, about 113 days at 90°F or above and about 54 nights at or below freezing, with under 6 inches of rain a year. Homes here need dependable cooling and heating.
What kind of homes are in Palmdale?
Mostly single-family houses (about 79%), and about a third were built in the 1980s (Census American Community Survey, 2020 to 2024). Most heat with natural gas. Homes of that age commonly need new roofs, water heaters, HVAC systems and plumbing repairs.
