Living on the Edge - Portuguese Bend Beach Club
Most of the homes in the Portuguese Bend Beach Club are modest by Palos Verdes standards. A few might even qualifty for 'Beach Shack' status. Some are elegantly understated but nearly every house in the enclave boost a one in a million view. The lucky few occupy rim front lots with panoramic Pacific Ocean views from nearly every room in the house.
The gated community also enjoys a private beach with fire pits and palapa shaded picnic tables. The varied beach residences dot the hills and bluffs along Palos Verdes Drive South in Rancho Palos Verdes. Many residents live in the Club year round, but others use their beach home for weekends and vacations. Either way, the Portuguese Bend Beach Club offers a unique setting to enjoy the Palos Verdes lifestyle.

Rolling Hills - $3M Home Sales for 2009 Year to Date - Palos Verdes CA
A remodeled home in Rolling Hills hit the market a few days ago and the list price is under $1.3M. I saw the property when it was listed at a higher price. It's not perfect, but hey, it is Rolling Hills, the gated city at the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Buyers, that is a deal based on location alone! The median price of homes in Rolling Hills is over $2M.
Here's a peek at home sales over $3M in Rolling Hills for the past few years:
2009: 3
2008: 3
2007: 10
2006: 8
2005: 7
(numbers based on MLS--deemed correct but not guaranteed)
No doubt about it, sales are down and so are prices in Rolling Hills. If you're thinking of making a move to behind the gates of Rolling Hills, now is an excellent time to see if your dream home is available at a surprisingly attractive price.

Palos Verdes Estates - $3M+ Luxury Home Sales Report 2009 YTD
The over $3,000,000 home sales have endured a sluggish couple of years on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Chalk it up to the near extinction of jumbo loans and the economic decline. I noticed during the usually quiet dog days of summer a high end sale or two started appearing on the MLS hotsheet.
Digging a little deeper, and closing a high-end home in Palos Verdes Estates myself, encouraged me to delve a little deeper to determine whether my sale was a fluke, a stroke of good luck or a turning point in the local housing market. Here's what I found:
10 Palos Verdes Estates homes $3,000,000 and up closed escrow in 2009. 4 Homes in the price range are currently in escrow.
9 Palos Verdes Estates homes $3,000,000 and up closed escrow in 2008.
18 Palos Verdes Estates homes $3,000,000 and up closed escrow in 2007.
13 Palos Verdes Estates homes $3,000,000 and up closed escrow in 2006.
17 Palos Verdes Estates homes $3,000,000 and up closed escrow in 2005.
It appears the high-end home market in Palos Verdes Estates hit bottom in 2008, and the number of sales in 2009 will be back in the double digit zone.

Portuguese Bend - Coastal Homes off of Palos Verdes Drive South
I am watching the neighborhood for a client who has kids and horses. We're hoping a four bedroom with stables and a view will come on the market in the next few months. Portuguese Bend home prices range from just under $1,000,000 to multi-million dollar equestrian compounds.
The Portuguese Bend Club has a neighborhood stable for boarding horses, riding rings and exercise areas plus miles of riding trails. The Portuguese Bend Club Horse Show is an annual event in the neighborhood.
Located on Palos Verdes Drive South between Donald Trump's golf course and Terranea Resort the Portuguese Bend neighborhood is a few minutes from recreational and fine dining options. Upon entering the gates you will find it hard to believe you are in Los Angeles County.

Palos Verdes Coastal Homes with Panoramic Views
Who doesn't enjoy a drive along the coast with great views, sea breezes caressing the skin and the nostril tingling scent of ocean air? The Amalfi Coast of Italy is a memorable drive with dramatic coastal views around every clifftop curve. Pacific Coast Highway offers some breathtaking views as it snakes its way along the California coastline. The rocky coastline of Maine is another favorite view-filled drive dotted with magnificent ocean views and eye-catching coastal homes. Ahh, but a drive along the coastline and through the hills of Palos Verdes offers a variety of world class views, ocean front estates and hilltop villas with panoramic views.
If you are shopping for an unforgettable view of your own, come to Palos Verdes, CA. The Palos Verdes Peninsula is gifted with miles of coastline as the flat land of the Beach Cities (Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan) gives way to the hills, cliffs and rocky coastline of Palos Verdes.
If you want an ocean front home, you can find it in Palos Verdes. If you want a gated estate with a panoramic view, we have that too. Whether you prefer the security of a gated community, an enclave of similar high-end homes or a low profile equestrian estate hidden amid the hills and canyons of the gated city of Rolling Hills, they are all waiting for you on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
