Racquet Club Estates Neighborhood Home Tour

One of the largest and most iconic neighborhoods in Palm Springs, Racquet Club Estates is a marvel of midcentury design. More than 500 homes come together to create an oasis of architectural optimism that introduced the post-war generation to indoor-outdoor living in Southern California.   

The developers were the Alexander Company and Jack Meiselman. The Alexander Company hired architects William Krisel and Donald Wexler to design innovative homes that welcomed the desert sun and optimized shade. This was affordable luxury for middle class consumers. The modest interior footprints are complemented by large outdoor living spaces with swimming pools and mountain views. While many of the homes have been retrofitted for year-round living, the neighborhood’s midcentury aesthetic remains intact. These include butterfly roofs, breeze block walls, and vibrant pops of color on doors, mailboxes, and carports. Vintage cars will be displayed at each home on the tour.

Proceeds from this tour will fund projects benefiting the neighborhood and the Palm Springs community at large.
