Known for its iconic architectural mid-century property as well as its stunning Mountain View’s, Vista Las Palmas is one of the premier neighborhoods of Palm Springs. Renowned architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer designed hundreds of homes in this community, teaming up with legendary local builder Alexander Construction Company. Another major influence in the architecture of the time, Charles Dubois, added the distinct Swiss "A-Frame" design and other prominent offerings, further adding to Vista Las Palmas's unique collection of modern interpretation.

Celebrities who once lived and played in Vista Las Palmas include Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Debbie Reynolds, Kirk Douglas, Joan Collins, George Hamilton, and Dinah Shore. Currently many entertainment executives, actors, and actresses also own property here, and numerous residences have been used for commercials, magazine photography, and movie scenes.
