Pacific Palisades is an idyllic community in the Westside region of Los Angeles, with roots that date back just over 100 years. Over the course of its history, the Palisades has been many things to many people, but today, one can find a mix of celebrities, families and empty-nesters, living in a space referred to as where the mountains meet the sea.
The Palisades is divided into distinct neighborhoods, including the Alphabet Streets, El Medio Bluffs, The Riviera, The Huntington, Santa Monica Canyon, Rustic Canyon, Marquez Knolls, The Highlands and more—each with its own unique offerings and styles of real estate.
For those looking for the most sprawling of estates, check out The Riviera first, home to big names in Hollywood like Ben Affleck, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks—and big homes. For a more modest lot, packed with just as much beauty and comfort, the Alphabet Streets, Marquez Knolls and The Huntington are best known for family-friendly living, with most residences just a few minutes’ walk from downtown hubs.
The Highlands boasts sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains and beyond, while Rustic and Santa Monica canyons, spread out over winding roads south of Sunset, put residents closer to the beach.
There is no shortage when it comes to the range of homes available for sale in the Palisades, stretching from tens of millions to more modestly priced.
Those who reside in or visit the Palisades often comment on how it reminds them of the real-life Mayberry or New England—truly creating a small-town feel in the midst of the big city of Los Angeles.
