Firebird Estates

Palm Springs in the ‘60s had a certain sparkle — the kind that made people pack up their worries, head for the desert, and instantly feel 10 years younger. Firebird Estates was built right in the middle of that moment, and walking through it today still feels like you’ve stepped into a sun-washed postcard from 1964.

The breezeblock, the pool, the mountain views… it’s all exactly the kind of quiet glamour people came here for and what you will see on Feb. 21st during Modernism Week! And if you want to really dial back the clock, we’ll have our 1961 Nash Metropolitan parked out front. Hop in, take a photo, and—for a split second—you might just believe you’re on your way to dinner with Sinatra.

Firebird Estates: a little retro, a little romantic, and still very much Palm Springs. Buy your Modernism Tix to experience it!

Our first ever participation on Modernism Week was a success! Thanks to everyone who took part and helped to achieve such a milestone. We're so proud we were able to showcase our community and share with others why we love it so much!

Spent the morning with the friendliest homeowners of @firebirdestates! This inaugural home tour did not disappoint, with five meticulously preserved units on display. Built in 1954, Firebird Estates epitomizes midcentury modern design against the majestic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. With its architectural purity and panoramic vistas, this community stands as an emblem of Palm Springs' rich architectural legacy, inviting exploration and appreciation for generations to come.

Our resident flamingo was the star of the show during our inaugural Modernism Week tour.
