The Movie Colony
The Movie Colony (also known as "Old Movie Colony") is one of the recognized neighborhoods in Palm Springs, California, developed primarily during the 1930s and 1940s. The community includes 170 homes, bound by Tachevah Road on the North, Alejo Road on the South, Avenida Caballeros on the East and Indian Canyon on the West. The area became associated with members of the Hollywood film industry who owned and rented homes there, contributing to Palm Springs’ reputation as a desert retreat for the entertainment community. The neighborhood contains residences designed in both Spanish Colonial Revival and mid-century modern architecture. The district is distinct from the adjacent Movie Colony East neighborhood. The Movie Colony is one of the 52 legally recognized neighborhoods in Palm Springs by the City of Palm Springs Office of Neighborhoods and is part of the Organized Neighborhoods of Palm Springs (ONE-PS).
