1962 development of Mid Century modern neighborhood PARADISE PALMS - Las Vegas Nevada

This is a very rare 16MM promotional film done in Technicolor and narrated by the velvety voice of Hugh Douglas. Recently converted to digital from the master 16MM film -
This is a promotional film to help sell the new Palmer & Krisel homes being developed in Las Vegas Nevada, so it is absoloutley amazing this film survived. The shelf life of a film like this would usually be around a year or so before it was obsolete, houses were sold and film was discarded. This film provides insight into the very early stages of construction of Palmer & Krisel homes of Paradise Palms.
They definitely put a lot of thought and care into the planning of this incredible Las Vegas neighborhood...
Enjoy, Mark

My Grandmother was one of the sales team for Paradise Palms: that’s her in the video with the red hair ‘playing ‘ the realtor. My Mom is the model/buyer in this movie . My Mom is still alive and still lives in Las Vegas but not in Paradise Palms. We had 2 homes on Ottawa Drive. One of the homes is in this video . My grandparents also owned a home. My Dad ( also still alive and living with me) says he paid 32,000k for that first home . Dad was the largest pool builder in Nevada for many years and we had a beautiful pool in both backyards. Sonny Liston lived ( and died ) on our street. The Sahara Hotel owned the home just across the street and Buddy Hackett and other famous comedians of the day stayed in that home. In the video they call The golf course the Stardust course but I always remember it being called the Sahara Nevada golf course . The elementary school; Ruby S Thomas was recently torn down. The junior high: William Orr was a Short walk from our house. Such an idyllic place to grow up. Finding this video has been so wonderful for our whole Family . Thank you for posting it.

What a wonderful history. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@celebutante]

I thought I recognized Ottawa Dr. I came very close to buying 1730 Chippewa back in 2011 - it's the same model as the one in the tour (I could tell from the way the kitchen juts out of the front but it's not this house because the car port is on the other side). Amusingly, I passed on it because it only appraised at $115K, and the owner wanted something like $135k. (Zillow value is $471k today!) That is very cool that your family is in this video!

I'm sold. Now I just need to rev up my time machine to go back to 1962 to buy one of those units. 😀 This film reminds me of the 1961 Bob Hope movie, Bachelor In Paradise. Bob plays a book author who moves into such a brand new community (in california) called Paradise Village to collect research material for his new book about wives living in suburbia. The interior, furnishings, decorations and styles of the real life houses in this film very much resembles the interiors of the fake movie set houses in the Bob Hope movie.

[@williamflack5767]

Love that movie. Reminds me of the neighborhood I grew up in. Times were simple, then. I was born in Tennessee. My parents bought in a new subdivision. 1960. I think it was 20,000.00. 2 full bathrooms. I have childhood friends, and we still keep in touch. Miss those times. Rode our bikes everywhere. No video games!

[@jayski9410]

I owned one of those houses in the 1980's. The Stardust no longer owned the golf course by that time though. But I soon learned living that close to a golf course has it's down side. We'd occasionally get errant golf balls ricocheting off the patio furniture. And one time I lost one of my sliding glass doors due to a direct hit. And the commenters below are right about how hot a sliding board can get in the Vegas sun. We used to keep an oven mitt next to our metal garbage cans because you could literally burn your hand trying to pick the lid up on a summer afternoon. These days I prefer the milder climate along the beach in L.A.

Didn’t show any butterfly roofs, present day Seneca, Pawnee & Ottawa streets have a #.

[@DEESANT-oc9xf]

You can see a number of butterfly roofs in the distance during the golf course scene that face Eastern. You can also see the butterfly roof on Seneca at the very last cul-de sac scene.

I thought I saw a black kid in the play yard ? Can you tell us more about the deed restrictions? I am asking for a friend.

[@sharksport01]

Notice the lack of trash all over the streets?

[@randyscott3386]

We got a telegram from Miss Hawiginnns " Mr. Tudball said " It ittt ha it a looks a swingnnnn swank to me . and he wants a one bedroom .

[@Gump-tion]

Didn't know dishwashers were around since the early 60's

[@sharksport01]

My 1955 hotpoint home had one, still worked in 2017 when I sold the house.

[@garypesci746]

Dishwashers were shown in an exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair.

[@renesagahon4477]

My parents bought a new home in 1959 in palos verdes cal. It had a built in dishwasher

[@karlchristensen6277]

Now in 2024, this is considered “The Hood”

[@DEESANT-oc9xf]

Can a neighborhood with homes ranging from $400k-over a million with a beautiful golf course in it's center, still be considered the hood? Make it make sense!

[@peterjeffery8495]

Madness. No trees, too hot....I doubt you'd feel refreshed by that pool in June July or August. Give me 4 seasons and real trees. Yikes!

[@pgnandt]

Winter in Arizona is awesome. We get all 4 seasons in a day. 6am is winter. 9am is spring. 1pm is summer and 4pm is fall. Summer you just hunker down.

[@DEESANT-oc9xf]

Within 10 years the trees filled in the entire area shading homes and the golf course. And yes, pools are extremely refreshing in the Las Vegas summer.

[@renesagahon4477]

You couldn’t pay me too I’ve there. Give me San Francisco in June when it’s a Heavenly 58 degrees

[@XANTHIA105]

@@pgnandt Same in Palm Springs!

[@claudermiller]

I do hope it's "restricted." 🙄

[@tubulardude44]

$20K 1962 = $207K today. Very affordable! 3344 Dakota Way, Palm Springs…. See it now on google maps. Too bad they weren’t all Eichler homes. Please tell me the man is her father, right? 0R Eeew!

[@lasvegasbeet]

Zillow states $439,000-525,000.

[@jonhowe2960]

It's just how things were done in the olden times

[@sharksport01]

Palm Springs was named after Palmer.

[@karllieck9064]

Red states give thumbs up to this ad.

[@scottygdaman]

the outside of the house looks like an electrical sub station and who shoved a dining table against a wall?
