Rollling Hills

 

 

Tucked away in the heart of the Palos Verdes Peninsula lies one of California’s most elite and desirable communities. Rolling Hills is considered one of the most luxurious and elegant neighborhoods in the greater Los Angeles area, with stunning Pacific Ocean views, high-end homes, and picturesque and pristinely maintained scenery.

 

The town was originally incorporated in 1957 and has maintained the rural and equestrian atmosphere that initially made it so attractive to new residents looking for an escape from the big city. Many single-family homes in the area are Mid-century modern ranches and Spanish colonial haciendas. The sense of luxury and refinement permeates the community, as homes must always maintain a certain level of class and elegance when it comes to exterior styles as per community regulation. All homes in Rolling Hills are required to have white exterior paint and a horse-designated property on their lots (or at least enough free land where a horse pasture could be built at any time).

 

Throughout the neighborhood itself, there are also no traffic lights, multi-acre open spaces between homes, and wide equestrian paths along the streets in order to ensure this sense of opulence is maintained year after year.

 

Rolling Hills is one of California’s most attractive communities and is one of the most affluent as a result. Ensuring that this elite reputation is maintained, residents living in this area are among Los Angeles’s most elite and successful professionals. The average annual household income for this community is well over $200,000, and most homes in the area are valued at $2 million and up.

 

People living in Rolling Hills enjoy living a more healthy and active lifestyle and can often be found wandering through the well cared for grounds and perfectly maintained streets in their spare time. The luxurious ocean views and the glistening skyline of Downtown LA help ensure world-class scenery no matter where you go.

 

The dining scene around Rolling Hills is as luxurious and exceptional as the rest of the community, with world-class eateries and restaurants found throughout the area. Mama Terrano has been one of the most popular spots for years, serving classic and authentic Italian cuisine just like their grandmother used to make. Their menu includes classics like rigatoni bolognese, ricotta gnocchi with fresh spring vegetables, and osso bucco with risotto milanese.

 

Serving an authentic and outstanding Mexican-inspired menu since 1949, the Original Red Onion is now considered an absolute community staple. With dishes like traditional corn masa sopes, carnitas, chicken mole, and chile rellenos, it’s no wonder why guests return to this beautiful restaurant time and time again.

 

Creme de la Crepe is another local favorite, serving an eclectic menu with a French twist that residents absolutely adore. Their dishes include a spicy tuna tartare, filet mignon crepes, and a mouthwatering grass-fed beef tenderloin.

 

 

The Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve is another popular local spot. With nearly 400 stunning acres and protected lands, this preserve helps ensure that local wildlife has a safe and natural habitat to call home for years to come.

 

When residents are looking for an even more relaxing interaction with nature, they can always stop by the South Coast Botanic Gardens. With numerous exhibits and an array of stunning local plant species, guests can explore some of California’s most beautiful gardens in this unique horticultural and wildlife habitat.
