The Palos Verdes Peninsula
The
beautiful and prestigious Palos Verdes Peninsula is located 25 miles
southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The Peninsula includes the surrounding
cities of Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling
Hills Estates. Peninsula living allows
for a luxurious and secluded lifestyle while offering the practicality of urban
amenities close at hand. The Peninsula boasts several different climates and its
higher elevation provides unparalleled views from all sides. Facing North
you’ll see the entire Los Angeles basin, up the coast to Malibu and into Orange
County. From the East side, you can view
the Los Angeles Harbor Complex, the Vincent Thomas Bridge, the Southern coast
of Long Beach and into the hills of Orange County. The South side has grand Pacific Ocean, coastline
and cliff views as well as the majestic sight of Catalina Island. The West side
of “The Hill” has a huge view of the Pacific Ocean and the southern Channel
Islands. All in all, a stunning and impressive address no matter where you
choose to live!
Palos Verdes Estates
Founded
in the1920’s, this part of “the Hill” has a very distinct historical feel with
its Spanish architecture and beautiful plazas and fountains. Truly a unique
coastal town, some sections feel as if you’re on the East Coast with winding
roads, country homes and lots of trees. Other areas have spectacular “Queen’s
Necklace” views sweeping the coastline from Redondo Beach as far as Santa
Monica and Malibu and beyond. Very low
crime rates, excellent schools and strict building and development codes have
kept Palos Verdes Estates a super-exclusive enclave for the wealthy and
tasteful.
Rancho Palos Verdes
Tucked
into the hills of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, you will find the city of Rancho Palos Verdes. With some of the best of
Southern California’s natural splendor surrounding the city, it’s no wonder
homes here are in high demand. Unparalleled city and ocean views can be had
from nearly every part of Rancho Palos Verdes. The school district ranks
as one of the best in the nation with three high schools, three middle schools
and twelve elementary schools. “The Hill”s main business and shopping
area is located here with a large shopping center with a weekly Farmer’s Market
as well as an outdoor mall featuring many national retailers.
Rolling Hills
Rolling Hills
is actually its own city and is entirely surrounded by guarded gates and white
split-rail fencing. It is one of the
most exclusive private communities in the state of California. In a very pastoral setting and with a minimum
lot size of one acre, most homes are rambling ranches and feature horse
facilities. Sitting on the highest parts of “The Hill”, incredible views are to
be had from all parts and in all directions.
Also served by the prestigious Palos Verdes Unified School District,
Rolling Hills is genuinely a 5-star community.
Rolling Hills Estates
The
natural beauty of Rolling Hills Estates strikes you as soon as you enter
its streets which are canopied with trees. Meandering horse trails and the
scent of Eucalyptus trees greet you and seem to take you back in time when life
was simpler and slower. Rolling Hills Estates has a rural feel and a large
percentage of horse properties, making it true paradise for equestrians.
