Sandpiper Circle 3: A Midcentury Oasis Neighborhood Home Tour

Celebrate Valentine's Day with a day filled with love, admiration, and midcentury enchantment as we honor one of William Krisel’s masterpieces—Sandpiper Circle 3. Join us for an exclusive tour of this iconic desert community, where you’ll explore 6 beautifully preserved homes.

Built between 1958 and 1969, the Sandpiper community is a testament to Krisel’s architectural brilliance and unique desert living vision. Sandpiper Circle 3, perched at the highest elevation within the community, features 24 homes arranged in a pinwheel around lush, landscaped grounds. This thoughtful design maximizes mountain views and privacy, with each home’s front patio facing the central common area, free from the sight of cars, garages, or overhead wires.

Highlights of Sandpiper Circle 3 include:

1. Three acres of meticulously designed grounds featuring flat-roofed homes of varying heights.
2. Dramatically angled block steps that visually cradle the unfenced pool and Ramada.
3. Stunning views, preserved by the careful arrangement of homes and landscaping.

Krisel’s design earned the Sandpiper community a landscaping award from the American Institute of Architects, and the homes themselves stand as time capsules of midcentury Modern design. With post-and-beam construction, extensive use of glass, and the iconic “all-electric kitchens” that earned each home a Live Better Electrically gold medallion, these residences embody the elegance and innovation of the era.

Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Sandpiper Circle 3—a true desert oasis that continues to inspire and captivate.
