Casa Blanca Estates:
Historic Glamour in
Paradise Valley.

Paradise Valley, Arizona · 85253

Casa Blanca Estates occupies the grounds of the former Casa Blanca Resort, where Marilyn Monroe once landed on a private airstrip and Frank Lloyd Wright designed several structures. The original hotel buildings have been incorporated into private residences, giving this gated community a uniquely storied character found nowhere else in the Valley.

“Casa Blanca Estates is Paradise Valley history made residential. Marilyn Monroe, Frank Lloyd Wright, a private airstrip. No other community in the Valley carries this kind of provenance.”
— Anne Sostman | The Scottsdale Agent
