This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with the enduring beauty of Vista Las Palmas—Palm Springs’ most alluring and iconic modernist neighborhood. This curated home tour invites guests to explore six stunning residences that span decades of Modernist design, from midcentury masterpieces to a bold contemporary vision completed in 2023.
Tour homes include classic Alexander-built residences designed by William Krisel and Charles Du Bois, with sensitive renovations by Stan Boles, and a striking new modernist statement by Lance O’Donnell. Together, they reflect the neighborhood’s evolution—from a midcentury playground to a modern-day showcase of architectural vision and innovation.
Framed by the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains and steeped in history, Vista Las Palmas was once a retreat for Hollywood legends, including Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin. Today, it continues to draw residents and admirers as a beacon for design lovers worldwide. With bold rooflines, walls of glass and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, these homes—and the neighborhood itself—helped define Palm Springs Desert Modernism.
Whether you’re a modernism enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this unforgettable Valentine’s Day experience promises a deeper connection to the architecture—and a heartfelt celebration of design. It’s a rare opportunity to fall in love with both the past and future of modern desert living.
