Set against scenic desert and mountain landscapes, Escena Palm Springs is on the forefront of a renaissance of the city's architectural heritage, drawing on the Spanish Revival architecture that was so popular in Palm Springs during the '20s and '30s and the Mid-Century Modern styles that achieved acclaim from the '40s to the '60s.

As exemplified by Alcala, the Spanish Series at Escena Palm Springs includes homes reflecting Spanish Colonial, Spanish Monterey and Spanish Hacienda hacienda

In Latin America, a large landed estate. The hacienda originated in the colonial period and survived into the 20th century.
 styling. The community's complementary Modern Series re-introduces Mid-Century Contemporary, Modernistic and International styles. Lennar's Circa, Motif, Avant, and Skylar enclaves are part of this series.

Details for these first five residential neighborhoods are as follows:

* Circa by Lennar. This enclave's one- and two-story Mid-Century Modern homes benefit from fairway views and private outdoor spaces such as large porches, decks, entry courtyards, and expansive patios. Sized from approximately 1,961 to 2,803 square feet, these gracefully flowing homes offer two to three bedrooms and two and one-half baths. One plan features a huge loft. Prices start from the upper $500,000s.

* Motif by Lennar. Each instilled with remarkable character, these one- and two-story homes capture the spirit of the desert in casually elegant interiors sized from approximately 2,213 to 3,004 square feet. Two to three bedrooms and two and one-half to three and one-half baths are featured per plan, and each home enjoys the outdoor living space of a large courtyard. Treat your guests to a private casita, or treat yourself to a versatile loft. Prices start from the low $600,000s.

* Avant by Lennar. Sweeping views of Escena's Nicklaus Design golf course, guest casitas (per plan), and some of the only three-bay garages available in the first five enclaves highlight this eclectic mix of one- and two-story homes spanning approximately 2,244 to 2,981 square feet of living space. Two to four bedrooms and two and one-half to three and one-half baths are featured, plus a versatile office and/or loft in select plans. Prices start from the low $600,000s.

Interiors sized from approximately 2,369 to 3,463 square feet offer two to three bedrooms and two and one-half baths, plus a den in one plan.

* Alcala by Standard Pacific Homes. This distinctive edition of golf course-view homes offers a selection of grandly proportioned two-story floorplans spanning approximately 3,578 to 3,824 square feet.
