Scenic coastal views from Palos Verdes Estates
It wouldn’t be accurate to call Palos Verdes Estates a hidden gem — its beautiful cliffs and beaches are too well-known throughout Los Angeles to call it that. And yet, the city still feels hidden from the rest of LA, with its scenic and often-empty coastal trails and parks. “This is some of the best land there is,” says RE/MAX agent Jason Buck, a lifelong resident. “In the hills, you can get the Queen’s Necklace views where you’re looking up north to all the beach cities, all the way up to Malibu.”

Mediterranean-inspired homes starting just below $3 million
The desirability of Palos Verdes Estates and the high quality of life it promises are reflected in housing prices. There is a very limited condo availability priced below $1 million, but single-family housing costs between $2.5 million and $15 million. Home styles vary from Mediterranean ranches and villas to contemporary mansions. There are also a few cliffside architectural statement houses as well – legitimate conversation pieces. “When you’re in LA, there’s not a lot of room. Palos Verdes is much more spread out, with greater distance between the homes,” Buck says. “Many of the lots are 20,000 feet or more, and houses are set 60 feet from the street to create a more elegant feel.”

HOA rules
Palos Verdes Estates is a highly desirable area with many advantages, but there are also a lot of rules. “The HOA has complete architectural control over the properties, so when you move in there, you have a pretty strict set of rules you must follow,” Buck says. “The architectural requirements are extreme, and any plans for a remodel must pass a jury. Something like vinyl windows wouldn’t be allowed.” Contemporary homes are uncommon, with Spanish, Venetian and Mediterranean-inspired designs earning more favor.
