Throughout her lifetime, Ms. Monroe had lived in 43 different homes – some belonging to her lovers and husbands, while others, including this one, were mostly rented.

With its Spanish-tiled steps, black-and-white striped sunshades, abundant foliage, and gold-trimmed wrought-iron front gate, this charming bungalow-style dwelling, described as "the most beautiful house on the block", literally screams "fifties"!!!

The shrubbery in front of the property has grown considerably in recent years, blocking quite a bit of the exterior from view. But the home is surprisingly stalker-friendly otherwise, located very close to the street and with no gate or wall to block it off, either.

Another exemplar of Modernist style, this is the house where Elvis and Priscilla Presley lived in luxury during their first year of marriage, from 1966 to 1967, throwing infamously lavish parties. With its Jetsons-style furniture and lava rock wall, complete with electronic controls for indoor climate, outside lights and automatic rain, this place was considered, at the time, an innovative "home of the future". It also has a lush garden, large in-ground pool, and a tennis court.

Located close to the San Jacinto Mountains and offering a wonderful view of the Coachella Valley and Santa Rosa Mountains, the property was carefully restored to its original splendor in the 1990s.

For a peek inside, a private one-hour guided tour – starting at 1pm or 3:30pm – can be arranged ahead of time. If you're an Elvis fan, you will feel special being able to sit on the same furniture the King of Rock and Roll once sat, walk through the same rooms he did (which have retained much of the original layout, including kitchen counters, appliances, and other fixtures) and thus enjoy a personal connection to the King. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and more than willing to take pictures for you, as there are quite a few fantastic photo ops here to take advantage of!

No other house reflects Palm Springs’ famed heyday in the 1950s and '60s better than this one – the hideaway of screen star Peter Lawford and his wife, Pat Kennedy, sister of the famed president John Fitzgerald Kennedy. A close friend and confidant of Marilyn Monroe, and as a brother-in-law of JFK, Lawford introduced the two in 1954, with rumors of an affair still holding their mystique.

Besides his successful career and being a socialite, Lawford was also part of the Rat Pack, with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop and Sammy Davis Jr. When the Pack was not partying at Sinatra's mansion, it was often here with the stars and moguls of Hollywood's Golden Age.

If you've ever been interested in seeing how legends lived back in the day, you can rent this recently restored home on a per-night basis and get a first-hand experience.

Legendary crooner, TV host and "Rat Pack" member, Dean Martin was among the last of the Hollywood elite to have moved to the desert. He was also among the last to have acquired a Mid-century modern marvel from the father-and-son architect team of George and Robert Alexander before they died in a plane crash. Martin, renowned for throwing lavish dinner parties, bought this house for $56,000 and luxuriated here for a while, along with his gorgeous second wife, Jeanne, back in the 1960s and '70s.

Like almost all the other homes built for life in the desert, 'Dino's Den' lies low and blends with the surrounding topography. Easily visible from the street, it has been a favorite on celebrity tours from the time the Martins moved in. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling features a pool, spa, ceiling-to-floor glass sliding walls, and fruit trees on the quarter-acre lot. The tan-and-white pattern, conjoined with several lush palms and rocks, augments the eye-catchy, modern design.

Tucked in the heart of the Las Palmas neighborhood, Ann Miller’s house stands as a dazzling reminder of Palm Springs’ golden Hollywood era. Built in 1928, this Spanish-style estate captures the classic glamour of Old Hollywood with all the flair you’d expect from Miller herself-actress, dancer, singer, and larger-than-life icon of the 1940s and ’50s.

This two-story, salmon-colored gem, topped with a traditional Spanish ceramic tile roof, is hard to miss. Surrounded by lush palm trees and featuring a generous green lawn, the home sits on one of the largest and most valuable lots in Las Palmas. A shimmering swimming pool and sweeping tropical landscaping complete the oasis-like atmosphere. Think of it as a mid-century fantasy brought to life-floor-to-ceiling windows, open spaces, and an undeniable air of effortless cool.

Though Miller didn’t build the house herself, she put her unmistakable stamp on it, adding touches of extravagance that remain timeless. Her influence transformed this 1928 property into what many consider a picture-perfect Hollywood “dream home”-elegant, bold, and unapologetically glamorous.

Now owned by Toni Holt Kramer, a familiar face from KTLA, and her husband, the late director Robert Kramer, the estate continues to stand proud-literally, with an American flag flying high above the house every day. For those who cherish the spirit of classic cinema and the star-studded legacy of Palm Springs, Ann Miller’s former home is a living monument to a bygone era-glitzy, sunny, and built for both lounging and legend-making.

It is here, in the upscale Old Las Palmas neighborhood, that you find the oasis of the one and only Elisabeth Taylor. Known as Casa Elizabeth, this home is full of Taylor's art collection, from photography to oil paintings, including Andy Warhol's famous portrait of the hostess.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor was a British-American actress who took Hollywood by storm as a child-actress in the early 1940s and continued starring in feature films up until the mid-1970s. Her most critically-acclaimed films include “Cleopatra” (that hit the screens in 1961) and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (released in 1966). Later in her career, Taylor became known for stage productions and television movies as well. She was constantly in the spotlight, with eight marriages to seven men and a jet-set lifestyle.

The property includes three detached casitas for guests, a large courtyard veranda, a second-story observation deck, and luxury landscaping. The pool is one of the finest in Southern California. An open-air pavilion, fountains, and lots of palm trees complete the oasis getaway look.

Renovated by Kathy Ireland and now sometimes referred to as "The Jewel of the Desert," the home is currently available for rent nightly or as a wedding venue.

Although throughout his lifetime flamboyant pianist, Władziu Valentino Liberace, (the Grammy winner and possibly the music world's ultimate showman) had owned four Palm Springs homes, this beautiful Mediterranean estate at the intersection of Alejo and Belardo roads is most widely known for representing his particularly eclectic vision.

After the acquisition, Liberace turned this former boutique hotel with five bedrooms into a set of thematic units. Prime among them was the Valentino bedroom, featuring a sleigh bed and other furnishings, all originally from Valentino's home "Falcon's Lair", purchased at an auction. There was also the perky Safari Room with a tiger painting, a lion tapestry, and a life-size horse sculpture; and a Persian tent room by the side of the pool. Outside the rooms, Liberace spent daily some time praying in his onsite shrine dedicated to Saint Anthony. The musician reportedly passed away here in February 1987.

While the property has now lost some of its dazzles brought in by Liberace, the presence of several L's strategically placed throughout the exterior – including spots like the garden fencing, doors of the garage (where the pianist reportedly took to living at one point), and mosaic tiles in cement in front of the side door – remove any doubt as to the owner's identity.

Tucked into the rocky embrace of the San Jacinto Mountains, Steve McQueen’s Palm Springs home is the architectural equivalent of a perfectly cast role: minimalist, dramatic, and effortlessly cool. Designed by architect Hugh Kaptur in 1964, this mid-century modern gem is a masterclass in post-and-beam elegance-two intersecting glass boxes framed in steel, perched above the desert floor in the exclusive gated community of Southridge.

The home, once shared by McQueen and actress Ali MacGraw, has remained remarkably unchanged since his time, a living time capsule of Hollywood’s golden era of rebellion and style. Inside, the space flows with clean lines and iconic materials: a floating staircase rises from terrazzo flooring in the double-height foyer, while walls of pecky cypress add organic warmth to the geometric precision.

Light floods the interiors through massive windows, making each room feel like an extension of the desert landscape. The living room, cantilevered over the hillside, features floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering sweeping views of both the city below and the rugged mountain backdrop. Glass doors slide open to a terrace, leading to a swimming pool and patio where McQueen could once take in the sunset-or escape it altogether.

It’s not hard to see why this house caught the eye of Architectural Digest. Much like the actor who made "cool" a career, this home is all about quiet confidence, refined lines, and an intimate connection to its surroundings.
