Palm Springs
Architecture, design and the desert landscape.
Architecture is a natural starting point in Palm Springs. Look past the style of a photograph and explore how a home’s layout, condition and location would work for your life.

Get oriented
Places to start.
A starting point for a visit, not a ranking of neighborhoods or a promise about an individual property.
Palm Canyon and design
The Uptown Design District on North Palm Canyon Drive brings together design shops, galleries and places to eat. It is one distinct part of the city, not a shorthand for every residential neighborhood.
A closer look at the home
Style and age do not tell the whole story. Compare the actual layout, storage, shade and condition of each property, then ask for the records and inspections that support your decision.
Bring a better set of questions
Questions for a home tour.
The right comparison is between actual properties and your own priorities. Use these prompts when planning a tour with Tanya.
Continue to property searchOriginal details and updates
Ask what has changed and what records are available. Evaluate the roof, glazing and mechanical systems with qualified professionals rather than judging condition from a styled interior.
The details of ownership
Request the title, ownership and association information for the specific home. Do not assume that two similar-looking properties have the same terms or ongoing costs.
Life inside and outside
Walk through the property at the time of day you expect to use it. Notice privacy, light, outdoor exposure and the practical route to your regular destinations.
