If beauty is music to the soul of man, then the ENTRANCE PLAZA strikes the keynote of the entire composition of Palos Verdes. Perennial flowers and shrubs render symphonies of color and perfume from January to December, and giant eucalypts give mute praise to the combined effort of landscape architect and city planner.

Above, MALAGA COFF PLAZA, with its verdant walkway, flower beds and with lawns, encloses the first to the then drooping columns—just after, library, steps and business buildings.

Right. Arcaded in true Spanish mission style the GARDENERS BAYPLAZA is the first completed unit of the business plaza which serves Malaga City—out of the few separate townships into which the Estates is divided.

PALOS VERDES ESTATES, CALIFORNIA

Oleander, magnolia, acacia, chrysanthemum, fuschias and other flowering trees and shrubs lend dignity and splendor to the formal sideally of PLAZA DEL NORTE.

Scenic boulevards and winding streets provide easy accessibility to every home in the Estates.

## Where Life Offers More!

TO ATTEMPT to tell in a few paragraphs, or even within the covers of this book, of the beauty and completeness of Palos Verdes Estates is to attempt the impossible.

Yet one of the most comprehensive statements ever made about Palos Verdes is the single remark of a resident who says: "I live here because I get so much more out of life."

The house we live in, to many of us, is not necessarily our home. In this age, and especially here in California where sunshine spreads its golden veneer, we seem to be willing to accept a different kind of living—a life in which the home itself plays a relatively minor part. Our pursuit of pleasure or recreation often leads us to places far distant from where we live—to mountains, to distant beaches, to golf clubs or to far-off woods and bridle trails.

Not so in Palos Verdes.

Here, to a greater extent than in any other residential community in the West, if not in all America, it is possible to have a home, a playground and a preferred vacation place all within a five-minutes' journey.

Palos Verdes, as you will see it today, is already the most complete suburban community ever attempted in the history of city planning. Richly endowed by Nature in beauty of location, climate and scenery, it is peculiarly adaptable to residential development.

So intelligently has it been laid out, so carefully designed, that not one single attractive feature has been lost or even spoiled in this huge Ten Million Dollar construction project which, as the National Conference on City Planning says, is "an object lesson to the whole country."

An architectural rendering of LUNADA BAY PLAZA, the picturesque business centre of the southern portion of the Estates. The Plaza will faithfully reproduce an old Spanish town—balconies, fountain, winding stairway, tiled roofs and lantern towers.
