Racquet Club Estates Neighborhood Guide

Racquet Club Estates sits at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains in north Palm Springs, a neighborhood defined by its concentration of Alexander Construction homes and the midcentury design sensibility that made Palm Springs famous in the first place. The area takes its name from the historic Racquet Club of Palm Springs, the old celebrity haunt that drew Hollywood's A-list to the desert, and that tennis-and-leisure spirit still runs through the neighborhood today, where actual functioning courts remain part of the landscape. Homes here tend to sit on generous lots with the kind of breathing room that tighter Palm Springs neighborhoods don't always offer, making the architectural details, flat rooflines, and clean soffits easier to appreciate from a proper distance. It attracts buyers who come specifically for the design pedigree and stay for the combination of authenticity and livability that defines the neighborhood at its best.
