Palm Springs has a wide assortment of neighborhoods. Realtor Dave Stukas has put together quite a video collection of Palm Springs neighborhoods, all of them available on YouTube.
If you want to get to know the city, these videos show you quite a bit as the camera moves along the city's side streets.
Today's neighborhood is Movie Colony. You'd think with a name like that that movie stars lived there. Indeed, they did and still do.
Some of the stars who lived there are Tony Curtis and Cary Grant. If you're old enough, you probably remember these guys. If you're not, Tony Curtis is the father of Jamie Lee, the Activia woman.
Back in 2011, Marilyn's house in the Movie Colony was for sale for $700,000, quite a deal because it was on the market at the height of the Great Recession.
The Movie Colony has two parks: Ruth Hardy Park and the Wellness Park. In the former you can play tennis; in the later you can exercise on a vita-course.
Finally, The Movie Colony is within walking distance of the Palm Springs Uptown Arts District, an area where there is a plethora of mid-century modern furniture and accessories stores, many of which supply the LA movie set directors with furnishings and accessories that are featured in first-run Hollywood movies.
