Pacific Palisades Real Estate

People who come to the Pacific Palisades for the first time find it to be the best kept secret in Los Angeles. It is the northernmost suburban area of L.A., before moving on to the beachfront areas of Malibu and beyond. Pacific Palisades is where Sunset Boulevard meets the Pacific Coast Highway – the beginning of famed Sunset Boulevard, or the end, depending how you look at it. Unlike Malibu, the Palisades are a much larger community, with a larger shopping center, more schools, while being closer to the rest of L.A. than areas to the north up PCH.

What’s remarkable about the Palisades is that it feels like a small town nestled in the giant metropolis of Los Angeles. Unlike other suburban neighborhoods, like Westwood, the Pacific Palisades is a totally independent entity. Nothing borders the Palisades to the west, except the ocean, or to the east, except the mountains. This is core to why the Palisades are such an exceptional community.

For many the Palisades are a kind of best of both worlds – the feeling of a small, safe town, with no feeling of isolation. Some of the finest homes in L.A. are in the Santa Monica Mountains surrounding the Palisades, as it is increasingly becoming a destination for those seeking luxury real estate in Los Angeles. If you are in the market for a Pacific Palisades home, there is every type of home available: five bedroom and above mansions, or smaller one and two-bedroom homes. This combination means there are homes available in the Pacific Palisades for a varied list of home shoppers.
