OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
VISTA LAS PALMAS
Vista Las Palmas, a Palm Springs neighborhood best known as the largest area of Mid-Century Modern homes consists mostly of custom Alexander modernist homes built in 1959-1963, and is now the most desirable of present-day neighborhoods of Mid-Century Modern homes in Palm Springs. This is where you'll find the largest Alexanders with the most magnificent mountain views (and most luxurious neighborhood) in Vista Las Palmas, west of downtown Palm Springs once home to stars such as Peter Lawford, Marilyn Monroe, Cyd Chariss, George Hamilton, Donald O'Connor and Elvis.
Vista Las Palmas is located directly west of Palm Canyon Drive and west of Monte Vista St, tucked against the gorgeous San Jacinto Mountain range. In the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood of Palm Springs, where the largest and most luxurious of Alexanders were built as the second cluster of Alexander homes, Alexander homes start at about $1,000,000 for fixers and up to $4 million or more for exquisitely updated and upgraded Alexander homes.
