History – The City of Palos Verdes Estates, incorporated December 20, 1939, is the oldest of the four cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  The Palos Verdes Project established development restrictions included specific items to “preserve the fine views of ocean, mountains and park,” and “increase with the years the wonderful natural beauty of the property”. The document established set-back requirements and imposed a system of architectural review on builders administered by the Palos Verdes Homes Association and the Palos Verdes Art Jury.  The new community was laid out and landscaped by the famous Olmsted Brothers, sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., who designed 5 Central Park in New York City. Gently winding roadways, green hillsides, paths, eucalyptus, pepper, and coral trees were established, and a full 28% of the land area was dedicated to be permanent open space. This early planning and dedication of parklands gives the City its unique rural character and has resulted in its international reputation for scenic beauty.

Neighborhoods include the beach side community of Malaga Cove with nearly every home featuring an incredible ocean view. You’ll also find some of the original red tile roofed Spanish style homes that were part of the original inception of the Palos Verdes development. Montemalaga sits high above the South Bay and offers large lots, many with panoramic ocean and city views.  Lunada Bay is a quiet, cliff side family friendly neighborhood with a few of it’s own small restaurants and shops, as well as great trail access and ocean views. Palos Verdes High School is just blocks from the bluffs and the area has it’s own elementary schools and one of three middle schools on the hill. If you are looking for kid and family friendly streets, you’ll like Valmonte, which is located on the north side of the city. The streets are tree lined and many streets offer flat lots with a great community feel. Little League is a big deal here with one of the areas best baseball diamonds serving some mean burgers when games are in session.
