About Twin Palms

Twin Palms was the George Alexander Construction Company's first subdivision in the Coachella Valley, designed by William Krisel with Dan Palmer and built in 1957 and 1958 in south Palm Springs.

It set the pattern for the Alexander tracts that followed: one basic plan dressed with different rooflines and turned on each lot, so no two houses on a street look the same. The neighborhood takes its name from the pair of palm trees planted at each house.

Signature Features

  • Butterfly, flat and gabled rooflines
  • Decorative block screens and clerestory windows
  • Walls of glass to the pool and the mountain view
  • A pair of palms in front of each home

Buying in Twin Palms

  • Ask whether the home sits on fee land or leased land; Palm Springs has both.
  • Ask about the roof and the original windows; both matter in the desert heat.
  • Ask what has been changed from the original plan.
  • Short-term rental rules in Palm Springs are strict; check the city's permits if you plan to rent.
