This unique mid-century subdivision of approximately 60 homes is located in Central Palm Springs, just east of the Palm Springs International Airport. Developed in the late 1950s by Roy Fey, many of the homes are designed by one of the most prominent architects of the Southern California Modernist movement, Donald Wexler, with his partner Bill Harrison.
Noted for the recently added city park featuring sustainable landscaping and Palm Springs' first public bocce ball courts.
This enclave of homes has had a recent renaissance in the last 10 years, with many ppreservation-mindedfolks buying these homes and undertaking serious rehabilitation.
Each home features a variety of classic mid-century architectural details including decorative concrete block, clearstory windows and walls of glass opening up to huge mountain view homesites.
These homes were designed to incorporate indoor/outdoor living, what desert living is all about.
