Why families love Palos Verdes

The Palos Verdes Peninsula — Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, and the smaller hill cities — is one of LA's most exclusive, nature-forward enclaves: low-density, semi-rural, with horse trails, open space, and panoramic Pacific and Catalina views. Prices vary across the peninsula, from roughly $1.7M in Rancho Palos Verdes to $2.5M+ in Palos Verdes Estates.
