Movie Colony

The Movie Colony is one of the most well-known residential neighborhoods in Palm Springs, CA. In fact, no conversation regarding the neighborhoods of Palm Springs would be complete with discussing the Movie Colony. The Movie Colony is where you will find the big estates of former Hollywood moguls and legendary movie stars, such as Cary Grant, Jack Benny, Gloria Swanson, David O. Selznick, Darryl F. Zanuck, and Harry Cohn.

Manicured ficus tree hedge walls screen from view many of the Movie Colony homes which make for a very private setting. Since entertaining was, and still is, a major part of the Hollywood lifestyle that was transplanted to Palm Springs in the 1920s and 1930s, many of the homes in the Movie Colony feature private casitas or guest quarters.

Near the center of Palm Springs, the Movie Colony is located just east of Palm Canyon Drive. If you want to be able to walk to downtown Palm Springs from your home, the Movie Colony is a great place to live.
