In Olivia Wilde’s buzzy new thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” the picture-perfect 1950s life that Florence Pugh’s Alice shares with her husband Jack (Harry Styles) really is too good to be true. And although the neighborhood where the couple and their friends live often looks too picturesque to be real, it does, in fact, exist. These scenes were filmed in the South Palm Springs neighborhood of Canyon View Estates.

So even if you can’t stay in Jack and Alice’s lavish home, your own desert oasis awaits — without any of the film’s creepy twists or nightmarish flashbacks.
In fact, the city of Palm Springs played a massive role in Don’t Worry Darling in general. The party scene at charismatic yet sinister community leader Frank’s (Chris Pine) house was actually filmed at the iconic Kaufmann House, which was famously featured in Slim Aarons’ 1970 “Poolside Gossip” photo.
Built in 1946, the historic location was designed by architect Richard Neutra and features five bedrooms and six bathrooms. It gets its name from its original owner, department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr., and has also been owned by Barry Manilow. The storied Palm Springs home had never been used to film a movie… until now.
