Take a Hike--Palos Verdes Lifestyle

Hiking along the southern coast of Palos Verdes.

I'll be the first to admit if you're in search of an active nightlife, Palos Verdes is not the place to find it.  However, despair not, as all you must do to find it is drop off "The Hill" and hug the coast.  Once you hit Pacific Coast Highway you'll find the beach cities awake and hopping.

On the other hand, if you're in need of a daily dose of peace and serenity--a little rejuvenation for the soul, I can think of few places better than settling down in one of the most striking, naturally beautiful places along the Southern California coastline.  Mother Nature was in a particularly creative and generous mood when she gave miles of coastline, towering cliffs and impressive hills to the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Fortunately, the residents continue to take great care and pride in the land and location.  We have open space, miles of hiking trails and horse trails.  Our shopping options may be limited but the view are unlimited.  Whether you prefer the open ocean or the twinkling lights of Los Angeles, views encircle the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the one you choose is up to you.

Some people love the gym, but I prefer to do my sweating on the trails above the Pacific Ocean and along the edge of the sea with the water lapping at my feet, the salt air in my nostrils and the roar of the waves in my ear.  The natural beauty pleases my senses as I workout my body.  It's simply a wonderful treat for the eyes, body and soul.

Here's to more walks in 2014!  We'd be honored to be your agent when time to sell your Palos Verdes luxury home.

Coastal View Homes in Palos Verdes

What is more enchanting than a room with a view? I was drawn to the window of this lovely property to catch a glimpse of the view from a bedroom window. I could not resist snapping a photo. The sky and ocean were both lovely shades of blue with the hillside covered in greenery and dotted with colorful splashes of color. This is the essence of the Palos Verdes lifestyle.

Oceanfront Estates in Palos Verdes - Luxury Homes on the Coast

Infinity pool in Oceanfront Estates in Palos Vedes.

Oceanfront Estates was developed by Capital Pacific Holdings at the turn of the century, from the very late 1990s to the early 2000s. The development company was from Orange County–synonymous with large homes on tiny lots, but in keeping with the locals love of the large lot, the developer broke the mold and built large homes on large lots at Oceanfront Estates.

The name of the development is not a misnomer. The ocean views are a sight to behold. The water is up close and personal. You can smell it, you can hear it and often feel the ocean mist on your face. Yet, you are far enough above it to be protected from rogue waves and winter storm surges. The cliffs and bluffs of Palos Verdes provide a wonderful buffer from the rise and fall of the ever-present tides.

True, the homes began life in Palos Verdes as look-alike production homes, but during the ensuing decade many are emerging with styles and designs quite unlike their next door neighbor. The landscaping is maturing giving better balance and beauty to an enclave of estate-size homes. The development no longer appears out-of-place in Palos Verdes. It has earned its place along the coveted coastal acreage of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
