Welcome to the
Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood
Organization, Inc.
Our neighborhood
– The Historic Tennis Club -
is one of the oldest in beautiful Palm Springs, California.
The Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood in Palm Springs is a remarkable enclave known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Established in the 1930s, the area became a favored retreat for Hollywood elites, including iconic figures such as Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, drawn to its glamorous desert landscape and exclusive atmosphere. Our neighborhood features a unique collection of architectural styles, including Mid-Century Modern, Bauhaus, Desert Modernism, Post and Beam, and Spanish Revival.
The neighborhood is made up of about 250 single-family residences as well as numerous condominium properties and over 25 gorgeous boutique inns and hotels. Notable structures include the Tennis Club itself, which showcases the aesthetic values of its era, and various private homes designed by prominent architects like William Krisel, Herbert Burns and Albert Frey, each contributing to the neighborhood's allure and historical significance.
Today, the Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood stands as a testament to Palm Springs' vibrant cultural heritage and its enduring legacy as a desert playground for the stars.

We had a great time at the ONE-PS picnic on March 22, 2025! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our tent to say hello. This citywide event celebrates the residents, neighborhood organizations, and businesses in the city and is open to all 52 recognized neighborhoods in the city. This year, the picnic had over 1,100 people visit.
The Historic Tennis Club Neighborhood won “Honorable Mention” with our tent. We handed out key chain flashlights for night walking safety and had a “Guess the number of tennis balls in the basket” contest with the winner receiving a $100 gift card to Spencer’s restaurant. Check out more photos in Galleries.

Our Modernism Week Neighborhood Home Tour!
Our fourth Modernism Week Neighborhood Home Tour took place on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025. The event sold out and was a huge success! The Tour included seven architectural jewels representing a distinct range of mid-century interpretations.
We will be taking a break from the Neighborhood Home Tour in 2026 but will be back with one in 2027. A huge thank you to all of our attendees, homeowners, volunteers, sponsors and committee members for their hard work on this most recent Tour.
Have you seen the new HTCN blade signs around the neighborhood? The signs include the new logo. In addition, we increased the number of signs from 10 to 19. Thanks to the City of Palm Springs Streets Dept. for installing these!
