Cotino was imagined before it was built. Walt Disney Imagineering created the creative vision, storytelling, design language, and lifestyle framework for the community before DMB Development and homebuilders transformed those ideas into a real neighborhood.
Disney is not the developer or builder. DMB Development serves as the master developer, while third-party builders construct and sell the homes. Disney's role is centered on creative direction, placemaking, branding, and resident experiences—not building the community itself.
The desert—not Disney characters—is the main inspiration. Imagineers designed Cotino around Rancho Mirage's landscape, Walt Disney's personal connection to the Coachella Valley, mid-century modern architecture, mountain views, and the concept of a modern desert oasis.
Imagineering is woven into every layer of the experience. From Longtable Park and Laughing Place Ranch to Cotino Bay, the Artisan Club, and Parr House, Disney applied its storytelling philosophy to parks, amenities, gathering spaces, and daily life rather than creating a theme park.
Cotino represents a new model of community design. Instead of building another luxury subdivision, Disney used the same placemaking principles behind its parks and resorts to shape a residential community where architecture, landscape, hospitality, and storytelling work together to create a distinctive way of living.

You apparently can live and buy real estate in cartoonland.
It is in California. Formally a once free state now controlled and locked in by Communists.
The schlock painter Tom Kinkade did this almost two decades ago — created a neighborhood of homes designed to conjure up one of his creepy paintings. It was a flop.
