Luxury homes in Rancho Palos Verdes hug the coastline of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  The bulk of homes priced over $2,000,000 will either be located close to the ocean or command a sweeping view from a hilltop location.  29 RPV homes priced over $2M have sold YTD.  Two properties topped  $7,000,000.  One of the luxury homes was located in the Oceanfront Estates community and the other on Marguerite Drive.   Palos Verdes Drive South snakes along the south side of Palos Verdes and is the location of many of Rancho Palos Verdes luxury properties.  The Estates at Trump National and the villas and casitas at Terranea Resort are located off PVDS.  Hills rise on the north side of the drive and offer the perfect setting for spectacular views.  Peninsula Point, directly across from the entranc... 11/06/2014

You may not realize Palos Verdes is not a city.  It is the geographical area known as the Palos Verdes Peninsula and encompasses the four cities of Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates.  The locals refer to the entire area as either "The Hill" or simply Palos Verdes.   This can be confusing for prospective new residents.  Recently, we showed a property and the buyer did not realize Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates are two separate cities with different rules and regulations governing them.     When it comes to luxury homes in Palos Verdes they are scattered throughout the entire area.  Naturally, the areas closest to the water have clusters of high-end homes, but so does Rolling Hills and that's about as far away from the water as it... 11/05/2014

Rancho Palos Verdes isn't particularly noted for its equestrian properties on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates have the lion's share of horse properties in PV.  However, the hidden gen on "The Hill," when it comes to horse riding facilities, is the Portuguese Bend Riding Club located in the gated Portuguese Bend neighborhood off Palos Verdes Drive South in Rancho Palos Verdes.   The stable is no ordinary structure and shows its Spanish style with its red tile roof and white stucco walls.  The full service barn offers boarding and riding lessons are available as well as a summer camp for kids.  Miles of riding trails amid the nature preserve, often with ocean views, lace the gated neighborhood.  Mature trees offer both shade and beauty to the equestria... 11/04/2014

I did a little home maintenance yesterday in anticipation of the first rainfall of the season.  It was so exciting to actually hear rain in the forecasts after years of drought.  I swept my patio and made sure the drains were free of debris and did the same for my balconies.   The task of sweeping leaves in Los Angeles is much different than it was for my days in Illinois, Maine and Maryland.  You could seriously injure yourself if you tried jumping into this pile of "leaves" from my patio.   The rain arrived right on cue--after the Halloween festivities were finished and the kids were all tucked in their beds.  I actually got out of bed, turned on the porch light and watched and listened to the rain and wind.  A little weather after a long dry spell was a sight to behold.   Fellow Cal... 11/01/2014

A client is doing a "down to the studs" remodel, and recently called to chat with me about what buyers want, as the probability is high the property will be listed next spring.  We chatted about flooring choices, kitchen finishes and cabinetry and the conversation segued to whether or not to install a swimming pool.   If they were planning to move in as originally planned, they would add a pool.  However, since the decision must be made now, while their future living location is still not decided, they are aware it may be a cost that will not be fully recovered if they sell.     After our conversation I was curious enough to check the MLS to see how many Palos Verdes homes currently for sale have a private swimming pool.  There are currently 189 single family homes for sale in Palos Ve... 10/31/2014
