Cliffside neighborhood near beaches and mountains
Nestled in the coastal foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, Pacific Palisades is known for its low population density, highly rated schools and cliffside homes with spacious yards. This westside neighborhood in the mountains has a secluded, private feel compared to other busy LA neighborhoods like West Hollywood. It also boasts direct access to mountain parks and trails, like Temescal Canyon Park and the newly opened George Wolfberg Park at Potrero Canyon.
Michelle Bolotin, a Realtor with Compass in Pacific Palisades, says that the thing that sets the city apart from other LA coastal areas is that it’s in the mountains. “It’s got a beautiful landscape, being right near the ocean and the mountains, whereas Santa Monica, Venice and Marina del Rey are flatter. If you compare it to Malibu, Malibu is great but very remote,” she says. “Pacific Palisades has a lot of really unique, different neighborhoods, but it’s more consolidated. It’s very community-oriented and neighborly. People are friendly here.”
Beautiful coastal homes
Homes-wise, the Palisades feature a variety of midcentury modern ranchers, Spanish Revival mansions, custom-built houses and some historic structures. The neighborhood’s Alphabet Streets community offers living within walking distance of Palisades Village. Its Castellammare area, recognized by its Italian street names atop seaside bluffs, is home to eight-figure estates as well as the Getty Villa Museum. And then there’s Palisades Highlands, which has larger homes, sweeping views and more privacy in the Santa Ynez Canyon. The average home value in Pacific Palisades is a hair under $4 million, though this is skewed somewhat by the neighborhood’s extravagant coastal mansions. The average home size is a little over 3,140 square feet.

Palisades Charter High and other schools
All of Pacific Palisades’ public schools are chartered through the Los Angeles Unified School District. Depending on their home address, kids can be assigned to several different LA schools. Some kids in Pacific Palisades are assigned to Palisades Charter Elementary School, which has an A-minus grade on Niche, or Paul Revere Charter Middle School, which also has an A-minus grade on the site. Palisades Charter High School has a stellar A-plus grade on Niche and is famous for being the filming location of a number of classic films, including Carrie, Old School and Freaky Friday. There are also several private schools, such as the Village School, an elementary school with around a six-to-one student-teacher ratio.
Will Rogers State Beach and the Getty Villa Museum
When it’s time to go outside, locals can live their wildest “Baywatch” dreams at Will Rogers State Beach. This coastal area was one of the filming locations for the infamous David Hasselhoff movie, and it makes up the southern edge of Pacific Palisades. Parents can take the kids to the playground here or play a volleyball game on one of its courts. On the eastern edge of Pacific Palisades is the Riviera Country Club, the venue for the annual Genesis Invitational hosted by Tiger Woods.
For a different kind of cultural experience, check out the Getty Villa Museum, part of a Los Angeles institution. This part of the Getty is a recreation of a Roman villa housing Greek and Roman art, as well as a large courtyard and garden. Situated in the southeast corner of the neighborhood is the Eames House, where guests can tour the interior and grounds of this midcentury modern wonder, used and designed by renowned architects Charles and Ray Eames.
Wolfberg Park is a great place for daily strolls for staying active.
The Getty Villa is an educational center and art museum in Pacific Palisades.
