Palm Springs

As a hot spot for mid-century modern architecture, the oasis city of Palm Springs has long been Southern California's capital of architectural innovation. Taking advantage of spectacular desert landscapes stretching to the crests of the San Jacinto Mountains, many Palm Springs homes for sale marry form and function to create dramatic tableaux that go far beyond mere "curb appeal." In neighborhoods like Twin Palms, Vista Las Palmas, and Deepwell, for instance, you'll find classic examples of mid-century modern design, with characteristic asymmetry, low-pitched roofs, and post-and-beam construction. And elsewhere in Palm Springs, you'll find art deco, contemporary, and even Ranch homes that share the same local commitment to the cutting edge. Perhaps more than anywhere else in SoCal, Palm Springs real estate has style.
