This enclave of homes has had a recent renaissance in the last 10 years, with many preservation minded folks buying these homes and undertaking serious rehabilitation.  Each home features a variety of classic mid-century architectural details including decorative concrete block, clearstory windows and walls of glass opening up to huge mountain view homesites.  These homes were designed to incorporate indoor/outdoor living, what the desert living is all about.

Roof-lines varied on each home, some featuring the classic "butterfly" roof design.
