Year-round sun, palm trees, retro vibes, and, of course, iconic midcentury modern architecture—Palms Springs has it all.

Without further ado, here are 10 stellar Palm Springs homes you can buy right now. Most of the residences on offer are midcentury, naturally, and some come with Hollywood pedigrees and even hefty price cuts.
