Welcome to Rancho Palos Verdes

A picturesque and charming luxury community in the heart of Palos Verdes Peninsula
 
Tucked in between Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean is one of Southern California’s most elite and desirable neighborhoods. Rancho Palos Verdes has been attracting families, successful professionals, and retirees alike with its jaw-dropping ocean views, unbelievable Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial estate properties, and peaceful yet vibrant community.
 
Originally part of a massive land grant gifted by the Spanish Crown, the land eventually came into the possession of Frank A. Vanderlip, who had an incredible vision for the area, hiring architects as early as 1914 in order to draw up a master plan for luxury development. Since then, the town has continued to grow into one of the peninsula’s most attractive and highly regarded communities, where residents can enjoy a relaxing coasting lifestyle without having to give up the ease and convenience offered by Los Angeles.
