The rise, fall, and uncertain future of Desert Center.
On its 100-year anniversary, downtown Desert Center is being sold for more than $6 million to a buyer who is not a member of its founding family.

More than 1,000 acres of Desert Center were listed in a probate sale in 2019. This May, a court approved the sale of the area to Riverside resident Balwinder S. Wraich for $6.25 million. The property is currently in escrow. Wraich helps run a Fontana-based trucking company called Wraich Transport, a company called Wraich Investment, and other businesses alongside family members.

Wraich said he envisions the area as a truck stop, with a few fast food restaurants, a gas station, a hotel. Many of the existing structures are damaged to a hazardous level, but he’s not opposed to saving a historical building or two if they’re deemed safe.

“We will visit and see what we can save, what we’re not going to save,”

Newspaper stand in an old store, by happenstance we discovered this ghost like town called Desert Center, although there is a operational post office across the street, this store and the Cafe next door have been abandoned and appeared to have been frozen in time.
