The Mesa is a Palm Springs neighborhood with about 180 homes at the base of Mount San Jacinto. Edmond Fulford, a Los Angeles businessman, created it in the 1930s. He envisioned a quaint, private community with a single entrance. This became one of the first gated communities. The original gate still stands on El Portal at South Palm Canyon and appears on the neighborhood’s street signs. Homes in The Mesa feature Spanish, contemporary, craftsman, and some midcentury styles. Over the years, it has attracted stars like Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Sonny Bono, Barry Manilow, Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, and Suzanne Somers. The neighborhood also hosts the Moorten Botanical Garden, a 1938 landmark filled with rare cacti and succulents.
