Andreas Hills Neighborhood Guide
Andreas Hills sits tucked into the southern foothills of Palm Springs, occupying a stretch of elevated terrain between East Palm Canyon Drive and Mesquite Avenue that gives it a distinctly different character from the flatter neighborhoods closer to downtown. The area is best known for its concentration of Alexander Construction homes, the mid-century production houses that defined postwar Palm Springs architecture, here set against steep hillside lots that frame mountain views few other neighborhoods can match. Elevation is a genuine feature of daily life, not just a selling point, and the terrain keeps the neighborhood feeling secluded even though it sits close to the rest of the city. It attracts buyers who care about architectural integrity and are willing to trade a little convenience for a setting that still looks the way it did when these homes were built.
