Why Live in Deepwell Estates
Deepwell Estates is a classic Palm Springs neighborhood tucked against the San Jacinto Mountains, best known for its 1950s and ’60s ranch-style homes with flat roofs, neutral palettes and drought-friendly yards wrapped around backyard pools. Many lots run from about 8,000 square feet to more than a quarter acre, and you’ll see everything from custom midcentury estates by notable architects to contemporary condos and townhomes inside the gated Deepwell Ranch section, on streets named for desert plants like Ocotillo and Mesquite.
Residents spend time at nearby Sunrise Park, with its basketball courts, play areas and skate park, hike the historic 2‑mile Tahquitz Canyon trail to see rock art and a seasonal waterfall, or wander Moorten Botanical Garden a mile to the southwest to explore thousands of desert plant species. Cultural and everyday perks are close too, including the Palm Springs Art Museum with free Thursday night admission, popular local spots like Elmer’s Restaurant for buttermilk pancakes and Manhattan in the Desert for New York‑style sandwiches, plus grocery runs to Ralphs Fresh Fare at Smoke Tree Village; the area is largely car-oriented but also covered by local bus service and the Palm Springs Buzz trolley, with students attending nearby Palm Springs High School and its wide range of activities.
