The Hollywood Magic of Palm Springs Celebrity Homes

I had the pleasure of living in Palm Desert right after my divorce. I rushed home from work everyday to get in my pool. I would float forever n stare up at the beautiful palm trees. It was one of the best times of my life. And yessss you can feel all the old Hollywood glam. This place is like a small paradise on earth.

Is it Palm desert or palm springs?

Palm Springs , Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, PalmDesert, Indian Wells, La Quinta and Coachella are the string of towns linked from west to east not all of them are super expensive but the electric bills soar when temps shoot well over 110 degrees June through October ! Winter is Paradise however and crowded🌴🌺🌸🌼🌴🌞

I am 65 and I was born in Palm Springs!!!! It was so great growing up in the Mid-Century Modern Era. I was a model in my 20s and did commercials for the various Country Clubs. I could write a book, and I’m going to call it “Growing up in Paradise” 😊❤️🌴🌴🌴☀️☀️

I moved to Palm Springs in late summer 1979 as an 18 y.o. fresh out of high school from a tiny foothill town in NorCa and lived there for three years- nearby Palm Desert had just been flooded by a monsoonal rain. It was a glamorous place to live for mountain boy as myself, then, still a Spring Break destination that brought a party atmosphere for a couple of weeks. My claim to fame (haha) was cooking a 22 oz T. Bone steak (I was a sous chef) for Liberace and very briefly meeting him as well as being gently bonked by an errant golf ball hit by former President Gerald Ford at his Golf Tournament. I remember then walking through the Las Palmas neighborhood often, dreaming and appreciating the architecture, landscaping and setting against the mountain -also being very intrigued by the Launtner, “mushroom” house of Bob Hope . Today, as an architect I now visit it for Modernism Week and tour the houses. Very special place and fantastic quality overview of its architecture and celebrity history.

Been going to Palm Springs for over 50 years My Father who was a Hollywood Actor lived out his last days in Palm Springs.... Thank you for the lovely Tour ❤️ If I had the money I would buy Dean Martins home and bring it back to its Hollywood heyday it’s sad to see some of these beautiful homes being neglected and in disrepair A Great presentation you have a wonderful voice! ❤️

I worked for a bank in the 80s and Frank’s mother’s home came up after she died in an airplane crash. We were able to tour the home, and in the kitchen next to the land line telephone was a list of phone numbers, including Frank’s. There was a path through the garden that used to lead to his home, but was bricked off after her death. It was a perfect time capsule, and I feel fortunate to have seen it.

[@dondevine8655]

I have had the pleasure of playing several tennis matches at both the Dinah Shore House and the Kirk Douglas estate when friends owned both houses. Many dinner parties too. The decoupage posters of Kirk’s films line the walls of the tennis pavilion. Magical times!! I also have been in the Elvis honeymoon house numerous times. Great history!!

Love La Quinta. We go here for a lot of R&R. Will be retiring here in a year and can’t wait. It’s really about the golf courses. If you can’t live on a golf course and own a pool, it’s not the full experience. An average temperature here in the summer can reach 110 to 118.

I will never buy a flat roofed house. At least not in any place that gets much rain. Palm Springs seems pretty dry.

[@wowjef]

40.43-42.08. The house of Maga Gabor, Zsa Zsa Gabor's elder sister. I was Magda's chauffeur back around 1977-79. When she didn't need me to drive, she would often get me to garden and clean the pool. She had two Alsatian dogs out the back that I used to feed. I painted Eva's picket fence. She also had a house in the desert. Magda's house is vastly changed. it was always white on the outside, but in Magda's day it was also white everywhere on the inside with red leather lounge suites. Kind of glitzy, kitschy. The interior of the house in this video is not Magda's original interior design. Magda was always a bit miserable. People at the Palm Springs Racquet Club used to cringe when she turned up because she was so mouthy and pushy. She had had a stroke in New York and had difficult speech and one arm just hung by here side. She was said to be the best actress among the sisters, but because she wasn't as pretty, never got a call from Hollywood. She was married for a while to British actor George Sanders. Among her neighbours were George Hamilton's mother and Frederik Loewe (Lerner & Loewe). Elvis also had a house down Cielo Drive a bit. Once I drove Magda to LA to drop her furs off to get cut for a more modern style. We went to Zsa Zsa's in Bel Air and had Hungarian take-out in the kitchen with her 7th husband, Mike, who helped her fleece her 6th husband. Zsa Zsa's mansion used to belong to Howard Hughes and had genuine Roman statues round the pool. Magda treated me well. I was an Australian hippie guy who lived in the Coachella Valley for 6 years. All of the above is true.

[@crystalmeier6579]

I grew up in a California neighborhood quite like this and near this, although the homes were smaller yet similar replicas. As a teen, I created my own job and became a pool cleaner. It was the perfect job! If I got hot or tired, I'd just jump into one of the gorgeous pools and cool off. Really fond memories. I live in a different state now. I've noticed that the sunshine dosnt feel or look the same, like California has its own unique sunshine. It makes me sad and miss home. ☀

Local here. These are beautiful homes and a magical place, but take into mind the summers. Are. Brutal.

[@nancyhoskins197]

It's easy to forget, these houses were homes. Certainly there were parties, a mix of Hollywood's Who's Who and the likes of celebrity governmental figures. Most of all it was a place to retreat, from the glitz and glamour, to the quiet and serene desert privacy. Families enjoyed swimming in the pools. Golf, tennis, and water sports at the Salton Sea were a big deal. The fishing was great then. I miss the cool winter nights when millions of stars spread over the blackest sky. We could watch the satellites cross over head. We'd shop the summer sales on Memorial Day weekend because much of the area closed during the heat of summer. We had water coolers back then. Central air was not wide spread, even for the wealthy. You could always get a date ice cream shake under the palms or a cone at Froster's Freeze on the way back from the the Salton Sea, and cool off. The biggest pomegranates grew along old Hwy 86. The magic of memories , makes you young again. Thank you for a wonderful video!

[@ChristoExplore]

We live in Phoenix and visit Palm Springs every year. The strip is a great place to hang out and lots of amazing restaurants. The air museum is a must see along with the tram. We usually hit a few open houses to see the cool architectural build qualities. Very clean city. Just got back two weeks ago.

What gets me is that some of these homes have such amazing history and these renovation companies come in and demolish them, building something better and more modern in its place. I wish I had that kind of money bc I'd be buying old motels & hotels, renovating them & renting them out to our veterans and homeless in a manner that starts them back up on their feet so they can eventually move out & have their own place to call HOME.

[@Cwgrlup]

Thank you for the best video I’ve ever seen of this area. Grew up in Redlands, not far from Palm Springs and the desert communities. Have spent many weekends out here when we want to get away from the rat race in Los Angeles. The warm desert breeze in the evenings, whispering through the palms, with spectacular sunsets, is amazingly similar to a tropical evening breeze in Bora Bora. We’re currently shopping for real estate out here-most notably La Quinta, with it’s beautiful Santa Rosa mountains for our retirement-and very excited about it. The golf here is some of the best in the country. Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage real estate is a bit older than that in La Quinta. Still, I was surprised to see some of the celebrities homes more affordable than I expected them to be. More surprising was how many of them were sold just in the past year or so.

The pandemic and the economic recession which has derived from it, of course. That's driven a lot of people to need extra cash and have to therefore sell property in order to stay afloat. The rich always have a piece of property that they can sell, so when times are not as profitable that's what they do. This is a no brainer.

The cost of these houses is very cheap for what you are getting. These houses in L.A would be way more expensive. Very well done video and worth the time to watch. Thank you kindly.
