Indian Canyons
Luxurious desert modern homes in south Palm Springs
Indian Canyons is full of midcentury modern homes adorning the quiet, tree-lined streets. These houses often have bright white exteriors and either flat or A-frame roofs. Many incorporate stone into the siding of the house. Other styles include Spanish-style homes with stucco siding and tile roofs and contemporary homes with gray exteriors and boxy shapes. Houses are pretty close together in a suburban setting but often have backyard swimming pools where residents can relax. Most houses in the neighborhood back up to the golf course, offering scenic views of the grassy landscape and the mountains beyond. Many homes in Indian Canyons sit on land that is owned by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and leased to homeowners. “It’s one of the most expensive price points in Palm Springs, but the houses can be more affordable depending on the lease than fee land,” says Clay Baham, a Realtor with the Paul Kaplan Group at Bennion Deville Homes. “The price points can range from $1.5 million and up. The area is moving pretty good, it’s pretty active.” As Baham says, homes in Indian Canyons start at around $1.5 million and can cost as much as $3 million.Tee off or set out for a hike in Indian Canyons
With Indian Canyons Golf Resort making up much of the neighborhood, residents can easily hit the links for a day of golf. The resort has two 18-hole courses—the North Course and the South Course. Each has a par of 72 and has its own challenges. The North Course is longer, while the South Course has more water hazards. As players make their way around the resort, they’ll be playing on the same course that celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Ronald Reagan have once played. Nature lovers can head just a few miles south of the neighborhood to visit the Indian Canyons. Part of the ancestral land of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, these canyons are now open for hiking, picnicking and horseback riding. Residents can drive south on Palm Canyon Drive to visit the Trading Post for refreshments, trail maps and Indian art. From there, Palm Canyon stretches for 15 miles and has multiple trails visitors can explore.Top-rated shopping and dining minutes away

Giuseppe’s Pizzeria is a popular spot in the Smoke Tree Village shopping center, serving pizza and other Italian classics. El Mirasol is a Mexican restaurant on South Palm Canyon Drive known for its margaritas and extensive outdoor patio. Mr. Lyons Steakhouse is another popular eatery near the neighborhood. This restaurant is known for its luxurious old-fashioned décor and dishes like prime rib and beef wellington.
