Easy as 1-2-3, Unit 123 is a mid-century gem located within the Class 1 Historic Racquet Club Cottages West Historic District. Concepted by Paul Trousdale, one of the most influential mid-century developers in Southern California, the Racquet Club Cottages West was completed in 1960 and designed by William F. Cody. Cody's projects helped define the emerging West Coast lifestyle that combined glamour, leisure, simplicity, and experimental design.As you enter the property, you're never far from the lush landscape designed by Phil Shipley and Dudley Trudgett. Wander the meandering pathways through the grounds filled with palm trees, a babbling brook, and the San Jacinto Mountains as a backdrop. Over the last few years the homeowner's association has been on a campaign to replace and restore many aspects of this historic property that was once comprised of hotel bungalow rooms to the stars that spent time at the Racquet Club Hotel next door. Projects include taking on a full pool restoration, bringing it back to the original 1960's design, and watermain infrastructure upgrades to all units.
