Elvis’s Weekend Retreat
Residents of Palm Springs, California are used to having Hollywood icons as neighbors. But one neighbor has stood out over the years, one with a very unusual weekend retreat. That celebrity? None other than Elvis Presley. “Elvis leased this property at 1350 Ladera Circle for about one year starting in September 1966,” Elvis historian Cory Cooper told The Huffington Post. “It was built by Robert & Helene Alexander and was called the ‘House Of Tomorrow’ because of its unique design.” Robert Alexander was one of the most prominent developers of Palm Springs during the mid-century period. Up until The King became a tenant, the property served as Alexander’s home.
