Step into a hidden enclave of Palm Springs Modernism on the Last of the Alexanders Tour. This rare experience opens six private homes in the Tahquitz Creek Golf Neighborhood–where golf-course living, desert light and midcentury architecture come together in striking fashion.

The neighborhood’s story begins in the early 1960s, when Westview Development Corporation created “Fairway Estates.” Architect William M. Bray designed 350 residences, marketed as custom homes for gracious Palm Springs living. With playful model names like the Fairway, Golfer and Vacationer, they offered spacious layouts and unobstructed views of the championship Tahquitz Creek Golf–Legend course

In 1964, George and Robert Alexander partnered with architect Donald Wexler to create “Green Fairway Estates.” Wexler’s bold designs—featuring butterfly roofs, breezeways and sleek indoor-outdoor plans—embodied the carefree spirit of desert modernism. The community wrapped around a resort golf course designed by Lawrence Hughes, the visionary behind Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage

Although the Alexanders’ work was cut short by their tragic deaths in 1965, the 35 homes they completed here are celebrated as The Last of the Alexanders.

This year’s tour highlights a mix of Wexler-designed Alexanders and other distinctive residences, together telling the layered story of this unique neighborhood. With sweeping mountain and fairway views, it’s a rare opportunity to step inside the lifestyle, design and history that continue to define Palm Springs’ Modernist legacy.
