On the northern edge of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Palos Verdes Estates is a planned city designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., a phenomenal American landscape architect. With stunning coastline views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean combined with acres of preserved parkland, it’s no wonder why Palos Verdes Estates is considered California’s best city to live in by USA Today. This affluent community is filled with hardworking and generous individuals. Homes in Palos Verdes Estates bear California’s iconic architectural style, including stucco exteriors and tiled roofs. 

There are a plethora of ways to take advantage of the South Bay’s beautiful climate by getting outside in Palos Verdes Estates. Pelican Cove Beach is an excellent waterfront park with more than ten acres of green space and stunning views of Catalina Island. Each summer, the city sponsors the Malaga Cove Summer Concert Series at Farnham Martin Park. Live music acts take the stage every Wednesday night during the peak of summer. The concerts take place adjacent to the Malaga Cove Library, which operates as a branch of the Palos Verdes Library District and inhabits a historic, Mediterranean Revival building dating back to 1929. Another historic Palos Verdes Estates establishment, the Palos Verdes Beach & Athletic Club, has a six-lane swimming pool, fitness center, and a towering five-story clubhouse. The Palos Verdes Golf Club offers a pristine 18-hole golf course, and the first nine holes make a “perfect nine,” where there are no consecutive holes with identical pars. 

When you’ve worked up a hunger, Palos Verdes Estates has a number of excellent eateries to choose from. The Malaga Cove Ranch Market is so much more than a market. This family-owned establishment has been serving Palos Verdes Estates for over 25 years with their deli, bakery, market, and bar offerings of wine and beer. Any time of day, The Malaga Cove Ranch Market is serving up something delicious, from Mediterranean omelets for brunch to imported Armenian Trinity rosé for drinks after dinner. 

Lunada Bay Plaza is an excellent place for an afternoon of shopping. Stop into Artistic Habitat for handmade furniture or Annie’s Boutique for women’s fashion and jewelry. This area is served by the Palos Verdes High School, a high ranking public school that excels in college preparedness.
