This in an anti-spam measure. We apologize for this inconvenience. The Palos Verdes Peninsula contains four cities on land originally inhabited by Gabrielino Indians, as described in 1542 by Spanish explorer Cabrillo. The area's climate is controlled by the pleasant breezes off the Pacific Ocean, which also work to stave off tainted air from downtown Los Angeles.
Weather conditions allow year-round use of the area's recreational facilities.
RPV has 7 miles of coastline and 41,000 residents. Homes include single-family dwellings, condominiums and townhouses. Palos Verdes Estates encompasses only 3,038 acres, one-quarter of which is protected parkland. Rolling Hills Estates is perhaps the only city left in Southern California to have a hitching post at City Hall. The City of Rolling Hills has 2,000 residents occupying 1,889 acres protected by three guarded entrances.
