Our pocket mid-century neighborhood is a fan favorite of visitors to Modernism Week.
Revitalization of the homes in our neighborhood began in the mid-2010's with homes purchased by architects and builders who restored the early homes in our neighborhood. Once forgotten, our neighborhood is now fabulous with most of our homes fully restored.
The Little Beverly Hills neighborhood first participated in Modernism Week in 2019. We then took several years off and returned with tours for three consecutive years. In fact, our tour sold out each of the last three years (2023, 2024 and 2025) with 40% more tickets sold in 2025 than in previous years.
Visitors share feedback including the care with with homeowners have maintained, restored and enhanced these classic mid-century homes. They often remark about the creativity in design and aesthetic used in the renovations. And, some visitors even purchase homes here after visiting for a tour.
Twenty-two of our eighty-four single family homes have appeared on our tours.
Modernism Week 2025 may now be over, but check back for details about new events including:

Our most recent tour included five homes that have never been seen before including the Enchanted Village model home and a home re-designed by acclaimed interior designer Steve Chase in the mid-1980's. Additionally, 2024 Modernism Week featured home, The Shag House, was included on our tour. Video tour of each of these homes is available below.
This tour featured six homes not previously offered for tour including one home that was completed restored from its forgotten past. While each home shared the same floor plan, the homes were all very unique with different decor and various additions added over time.
After a brief hiatus, Little Beverly Hills returned with six homes to tour, including four homes new to our tour. With all but one of the homes featured on this tour located on Bedford Drive, we were able to close off the road taking you back in time to 1958 when the neighborhood was filled with its first residents.
Our first Modernism Week occurred in February 2019 and featured six homes. Five of the homes were designed by William Krisel, AIA and built by the Alexander Construction Company while one home was built by SonGold Land Development Company where Jack Meiselman was its Vice-President. This tour featured The West Elm House I as well as a home that appeared on HGTV's Desert Flippers show.
Thanks to You Tuber, Steve in Palm Springs, we have footage of our 2025 Modernism Week Tour. Steve has captured what makes these homes, and our neighborhood, so special! With our appreciation to Steve, we present the following videos:
Artist Josh Agle, known as Shag, has designed a home to make you feel like you've stepped foot into one of his paintings. Thousands of visitors have toured this home that was featured on our February 2025 tour.
This is the home that started it all. Step back in time to visit the Enchanted Village model home, on tour for the first time since it was built, where actors Fernando Lamas and Arlene Dahl lived as the home's first residents. Yes, the "Latin Lover" slept here!
This home is decorated in vibrant Palm Springs themes including fun wallpaper accents and natural tongue and groove ceilings. The pool area (visible from a full wall of glass from the living area) is completed by an outdoor kitchen and dining area and a custom wall mural painted by the owners.
This 1957 Krisel home was re-designed in the 1980's by famous Palm Springs designer Steve Chase! The home fell into significant disrepair before the current homeowners restored many of Chase's elements while sourcing original Steve Chase designed furniture to complete their restoration.
This charming home has been thoughtfully updated to retain many details that define mid-century modern architecture and Palm Springs living. With its iconic butterfly roofline, this home maximizes the promise of indoor/outdoor living on a generous corner lot. Full of natural light and expansive views, this home's crisp interiors are accented by vivid wall coverings.
The Beverly is an expanded Alexander home reimagined by David Rios Designs - known for The Trixie Motel and other work. With custom wallpaper and pink accents throughout, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This home was designed to entertain with two primary suites plus two additional bedrooms. The outdoor space includes a pool and hot tub, but also three entertaining spaces.
