Movie Colony East, located between North Indian Canyon Drive and North Sunrise Way, is a residential and design-forward Palm Springs neighborhood with midcentury-modern streetscapes and mountain-framed views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Palm Canyon Drive corridor near Alejo Road, where sidewalk patios, galleries, and cocktail bars set a polished desert tempo. Architectural lines lean toward low-slung modernism, with palms, gravel gardens, and crisp block walls defining the streets. Ruth Hardy Park adds open lawn and courts that shape daily routines. Community pillars include the Palm Springs Art Museum, the Plaza Theatre, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for culture and classic desert outings.

Behind the impressive wooden gates of Colony at El Mirador, you'll find a private oasis nestled in the heart of Palm Springs's famed Movie Colony. This enclave of only 35 custom and semi-custom estate-sized homes boasts incredible San Jacinto Mountain views, lush landscaping, and close proximity to all of Palm Springs's best destinations. 1244 Verdugo Road sits on a 15,000+ square foot lot and houses a Spanish-inspired 3,085 square foot home with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and generous-sized living spaces with 10-foot ceilings. Upon entering the gated courtyard, you're greeted with a private lawn with sitting areas and a water feature. Once inside, the openness and natural light are evident as you wander through the formal living, dining, and den with a custom built-in entertainment system and a granite-clad wet bar with a wine refrigerator. A massive center island, perfect for gatherings, anchors the large chef's kitchen. These rooms look out into your private backyard with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, water features, and citrus trees. The oversized hallways lead you to generous-sized bedrooms and a laundry room with a utility sink. The primary suite feels like a sanctuary with its large en-suite bathroom with dual sinks, large walk-in shower with a separate large soaking tub, and makeup vanity. The re-imagined closet (designed by California Closets) perfectly utilizes the space and offers ample storage. This home also has an oversized 3-car garage and a new solar lease at $291/month. Homes in Colony at El Mirador rarely come on the market. Now is your chance to experience gated private luxury living in the Movie Colony on FEE land with low H. O. A.
