Is Miralon the best new Palm Springs neighborhood?
In this video I'm going to drive you through the gated community of Miralon so you can see the look of the desert modern homes and the look of the neighborhood, visit the community center to view the amenities, talk about the different builders and projects going on and tell you the pros and cons of living in Miralon in North Palm Springs.
And, you'll see the gorgeous setting with incredible mountain views.
As both a Palm Springs Real Estate Broker and a Miralon resident, I'm giving you the real inside scoop on Miralon in this video.
THE BUILDERS
As of mid 2024, there have been three companies that have built in Miralon:
Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) built the homes in the Flair development.
PLC Communities built the Aura properties.
Gallery Homes built Gallery.
And you'll hear people who live in Miralon say things like "I live in Flair" or "I live in Aura".
Lennar, which is a major well regarded national builder, will also be building in the next phase of Miralon.
So far, all of the homes have been single family residences, but there are plans to build townhomes as well. PLC will most likely be the first builder in that phase.
ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE
The homes in Miralon are built in the "desert modern" style so popular in Palm Springs California. This style of architecture and interior design originated in Palm Springs in the mid-20th century.
Desert modernism is a blend of midcentury modern architecture with the desert landscape, and is characterized by its use of natural and manufactured materials, clean lines, and indoor outdoor living spaces.
This style is notable for its use of glass, clean lines, natural and manufactured resources and the connection of indoor and outdoor living spaces.
If there is any question as to Miralon's credibility as a desert modern community, Modernism Week has held events at the community.
THE COMMUNITY CENTER aka THE MIRALON CLUB
Miralon has some amazing amenities including 2 pools with poolside cabanas, a spa (hot tub), a well equipped gym known as the Energy Zone, a Fitness / Yoga studio, a full service bar - the Mirabar (currently open Friday and Saturday evenings only), a demonstration kitchen, running / walking / biking trails, a cafe with barista service (Saturday AM only), a demonstration kitchen, community barbecue, firepit and a community garden. Wow!
Plus those views and over 7,000 Olive trees.
MIRALON IS AN AGRIHOOD
Wikipedia defines an agrihood as a type of planned community that integrates agriculture into a residential neighborhood.
The purpose is to facilitate food production as well as provide green space, recreation, aesthetics and value for a community.
The Urban Land Institute defines agrihoods as "single-family, multifamily, or mixed-use communities built with a working farm or community garden as a focus."
In 2014, the term "agrihood" was first introduced by Southern California-based development company Rancho Mission Viejo LLC as a marketing trademark to target affluent millennials who wanted housing closer to fresh food.
Agrihoods are based around the concept of integrating farms and gardens into neighborhoods, allowing for the development of residential neighborhoods that have a rural feel.
The Olive trees at Miralon were planted and are harvested by the Temecula Olive Oil company which also does olive oil seminars for residents from time to time in the demonstration kitchen.
IS MIRALON THE BEST?
With modern architecture and a modernism vibe, great amenities, and a unique Palm Springs CA setting, many people Miralon is the best new Palm Springs neighborhood.
