Tucked between Santa Monica to the south and Malibu to the north you will find the ultra exclusive seaside town of Pacific Palisades. Set high up on the cliffs overlooking the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the Palisades is home to 27,000 residents, all of whom share an affinity for upscale living and some of the most sought-out real estate in the world. Six major canyons wind their way through this area creating settings of rugged beauty and breathtaking scenery. Homes in the Palisades are famous for their incredible views and vistas of the mountains as well as the Pacific. There are a handful of neighborhoods within the Palisades and they are: The Riviera, The Highlands, Huntington, the Alphabet Streets, Marquez (known for its great school!) and the Village Bluffs. Flanked by the Will Rogers State Park, complete with meandering horse and hiking trails, towering eucalyptus trees and family-friendly picnic areas, the Riviera Country Club and the superb local beaches, the Palisades are the perfect place for outdoorsy, laid-back families looking to hit the waves, play a round of golf, soak up the sun and then return home to often luxurious accommodations.
Home to many celebrities, the Palisades are an ideal setting to enjoy California living at its finest with wonderful boutique shopping, excellent dining, great schools, and a town center known as "the village" where beautiful mothers are spotted strolling around with their tots meeting girlfriends at the Coffee Bean for an "Ice Blended."
Don't expect to get in easily here though--home prices are some of the highest in the state and with good reason: the hypnotic beauty of the ocean combined with luxury homes will always demand top dollar.
