Palos Verdes Estates is one of Southern California’s most exclusive neighborhoods. Situated on the western side of the Peninsula, the City stretches from hilltop to shoreline. Master planned by noted Central Park architect Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr., Palos Verdes Estates boasts a strong commitment to sustaining its unique character and tranquility. Over a quarter of the 3,038 acres is permanently protected as parkland, meticulously maintained to preserve the rural atmosphere. The exclusion of streetlights, telephone wires and traffic lights further enhances a lush, non-commercialized environment. An ideal Mediterranean climate allows residents to enjoy year-round outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, golf, tennis, surfing and fishing. The surfing in the winter season is world renown. The schools are some of the highest ranked in the entire state with exceptional academic and athletic achievements.
Palos Verdes Estates embraces a diverse population of approximately 14,000 people. Composed of custom homes that vary in style, size and price, neighborhoods meander quietly along the hillside. With houses carved into cliffs and resting atop seaside bluffs, the scene is reminiscent of the French Riviera. Palos Verdes Estates is graced with stunning panoramic views – from Los Angeles and South Bay city lights, to the coveted Queen’s Necklace and Catalina Island. Over the years, the City’s property values have consistently soared, reflecting desirability unique to this extraordinarily beautiful setting.
