Palos Verdes Estates - Wealthy Neighborhood on Peninsula User Rating 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I have relatives that have lived in Palos Verdes Estates for a long time and have visited the city often and know it very well. This is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in California, perfect for retirement after a long and successful career.

The city offers gorgeous views ...Read More and offers the wealthy lifestyle, with state of the art shopping centers and malls. The public school system is extremely respected, and the private schools in this region are great as well.

There are many things to do in this region, including a less common activity, that being horseback riding, with lessons or sessions starting as low as fifty-dollars per hour. Palos Verdes Estates has a great golf course nearby, Los Verdes Golf Course, offering 18 holes of beautiful oceanic views and perfect conditions for golf.

This is a neighborhood that anybody would dream about living in, and it takes a large amount of fortune to be able to live here for an extended period of time. Overall, a great neighborhood with a lot of great people, but VERY expensive. Read Less
