THE MESA REAL ESTATE

As an exclusive gated community, The Mesa provides residents with a sense of privacy that is not found in any other neighborhood in Palm Springs. Nestled among the San Jacinto Mountains and just a few minutes away from the downtown area, these luxurious homes are just moments away from all major freeways as well as a number of shopping centers, schools, parks, and medical centers for north Palm Springs. 

The neighborhood is among the most historic areas in the desert city. Developed in 1920, this neighborhood has been called a gated, private community because of all of its quirky secrets and private entrances on a common border but alas, it’s also known for having some of the city’s tastiest food and swankiest boutiques.

The neighborhood was first developed by Edmond Fulford in 1922 who visualized The Mesa as a gorgeous community with a peaceful setting that would remain shielded from hot desert winds. What makes the neighborhood unique though are its breathtaking views and its historic Gatehouse which is located at 690 N. El Portal Dr close to South  Palm Canyon Drive that was built to commemorate Fulford’s dream that although never came into full fruition remains unaltered today for others to enjoy.

There’s no denying the retro-modern charm of this beautiful community. Walking through the streets you can always spot a little corner shop or café dotted around where people take their bikes or just walk to go shopping or simply enjoy the refreshing weather whilst admiring the breathtaking setting!
