Where Rancho Palos Verdes actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Portuguese Bend

A coastal neighborhood of roughly 547 residences sitting within the ancient Portuguese Bend landslide complex, reactivated in 1956 by the county's extension of Crenshaw Boulevard.

Miraleste

A hillside section along Palos Verdes Drive East on the eastern side of the Peninsula, developed with homes perched on lots for east-facing views.

Eastview

The easternmost section of the city, adjoining the San Pedro border, developed later than the western Peninsula neighborhoods.

Seaview

Built in the late 1950s to early 1960s directly across Palos Verdes Drive South from the Portuguese Bend Club oceanfront community.

Silver Spur

A neighborhood just south of the Palos Verdes Golf Club, between Crest and Los Verdes along the Hawthorne Boulevard corridor.

Country Club

The neighborhood surrounding the Los Verdes Golf Course, a public course known for ocean-view fairways along the Peninsula's western edge.

A day around here

Afternoon

An hour at Pelican Cove Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Avenue Italy, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
