4 Palm Springs Neighborhoods With The Most Beautiful Mid-Century Modern Homes

Palm Springs may be known for its amazing golf courses and tropical weather, but it's even better known for its mid-century modern architecture. 

The city is brimming with these beautiful mid-century modern homes, which gives the area an aesthetically pleasing, unique style..

You know you're looking at a mid-century modern home if it's built with three prominent characteristics, the first being minimalism.

These homes have sleek lines and simple designs that prioritize functionality over everything else. Nothing about the architecture of these homes is superfluous.

The next characteristic is an emphasis on nature. And what better place to bring nature into the home than in Palm Springs? Most of these homes have large floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the outdoors inside.

The other key attribute of mid-century modern homes is their unique angular designs. Expect to find homes with non-uniform, asymmetrical rooflines that defy conventional architecture.

All of this sounds pretty nice, right?

Well, the good news is that Palm Springs has no shortage of these gorgeous properties. In this article, we've come up with a list of the neighborhoods that have the most beautiful mid-century modern homes in Palm Springs:

Vista Las Palmas

Vista Las Palmas homes were being built by the end of the 1950s by the infamous Alexander Construction Company, known for building some of the finest midcentury modern homes in Palm Springs. With an eye to history, most of the homes in this area have stuck to this trend ever since then — even the newer builds.

You can find the most beautiful mid-century modern homes in Old Las Palmas on streets such as N Rose Avenue and N High Road. These homes are not only beautiful in design, but luxurious in their features.

The homes' in ground swimming pools and gorgeous open-concept living spaces have attracted celebrities of all kinds to this area of town, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn and Leonardo Dicaprio.

Deepwell is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Palm Springs, so you can expect to find tons of mid-century modern homes here.

Like Old Las Palmas, Deepwell was established in the 1920s—at the dawn of the mid-century trend. Despite its unusual history, this neighborhood has attracted celebrities, like Richard Burton, for its luxurious homes.

The community has a wide selection of properties on the market, but many of them are high-end mid-century modern homes that sell for over $1 million, making them some of the most exclusive in the city.

These homes give the neighborhood tons of charm and character with their white washed exteriors and small pops of color.

Sunmor

Sunmor is located next to Palm Springs International Airport in the central city. Although a community located next to an airport seems like an unlikely spot to find some of the most beautiful homes in the city, this is not the case for Palm Springs.

This is because much of the real estate in Sunmor was developed in the late 50s, early 60s—the peak of the mid-century modern fad.

Mid-century modern homes in Sunmor emphasize the outdoor element more than the homes in any other community. This specific area boasts a desert landscape that's so gorgeous, it simply must be incorporated into the homes.

The most popular streets to find these homes include N Farrell Drive, E Andreas Road, and E Plaimor Avenue.

Little Beverly Hills

Little Beverly Hills is a small neighborhood consisting of about 80 homes, many of which were also designed by the famous Alexander Construction Company. Out of all of these properties, the most stunning are the mid-century modern homes.

Built as an homage to the ever-popular California nieghborhood, each street in Little Beverly Hills was named after a popular Californian road such as Roxbury, Bedford and Canon. 

Little Beverly Hills was first established in the late 1950s, meaning it was apart of the Palm Springs mid-century modern architectural movement. These homes steal the show with their unique, low-rise architecture and minimalist designs.
