Neighborhood highlights
Located in the quiet and upscale neighborhood of Indian Canyons in a highly desirable area of South Palm Springs, The Alhambra House is a modernist fan’s dream with amazing period architecture and dazzling views at every turn.
Indian Canyons, formerly known as Canyon Country Club, was the first fully planned community in Palm Springs. Built in the 1960s on a championship golf course, it’s a beautiful mix of distinctive mid-century architecture. You can tour many of these homes during Modernism Week each year in February. For the modern architecture lover, it's an event not to be missed! Stroll down to the club and have a cocktail while looking out over the amazing fountain donated by Walt Disney himself. Rumor has it that it was a gift after the golf pro helped his son improve his handicap.
The Smoke Tree Village strip mall is less than 5 minutes drive away, giving you a supermarket and many other services, as well as a host of tasty restaurants to choose from.
The Deepwell Antique District is also about 5 minutes drive away for all the best midcentury finds, while Downtown Palm Springs itself can be reached in under 10 minutes, giving you an even more extensive range of cafes and eating options, as well as shopping galore.
