Tahquitz River Estates History In 1947, more than 200 two and three bedroom homes were built in what was then called Tahquitz River Estates by Paul Trousdale. Paul Trousdale an American real estate developer was best known for developing the Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills. Perched at the highest point of Beverly Hills, the Trousdale Estates development promised a life above it all. And in Palm Springs, Paul Trousdale offered year-round pleasure through resort living. But, first he had to find a way to redirect the water that flowed from Tahquitz Creek. Tahquitz Creek On Sept. 22, 1947, the earth movers arrived to carve a 200-foot ditch to redirect the flow of water out of Tahquitz Canyon. Boulders were also placed on each side of the large flood channel. As a result of their efforts, Paul Trousdale could finally begin to build. And he did so by peppering the neighborhood with Mid-century style homes. Thus creating an eclectic variety of homes that boast Old Palm Springs charm and modernism. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to walk or jog in the mornings or evenings, head south to Riverside Drive and you’ll find a gorgeous trail that runs from Palm Canyon to Sunrise and is connected by a foot bridge at the Western end to go over into the Southern Tahquitz River Estates development, and into Deepwell. A wonderful walk in the morning is through Deepwell over to Koffi, King’s Highway (Ace Hotel) or Elmer’s for breakfast on South Palm Canyon…about a 20-30 minute walk depending on your speed! An idyllic place to… Tahquitz River Estates was the most ambitious housing development that had ever been attempted in the city of Palm Springs. Today, the creek’s adjacent footpath is an idyllic place to run, bike, walk, watch wildlife and mingle with others in the neighborhood.
