About Pacific Palisades

Pacific Palisades occupies a blufftop position between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, offering a quality of light and air that residents describe as transformative. The neighborhood has long attracted writers, artists, and filmmakers drawn by the creative solitude its natural setting provides — Thomas Mann lived here, as did Bertolt Brecht and Will Rogers.

Today, it remains one of the most sought-after addresses in Los Angeles for families seeking top-tier schools, coastal access, hiking in Topanga and the Palisades Highlands, and a genuine village atmosphere centered around the Palisades Village shopping district. The real estate ranges from charming Cape Cod cottages to sweeping hillside estates with ocean views.
