Pacific Palisades Real Estate: Our Take

As local real estate experts, we love sharing our perspectives on neighborhoods that might be of interest to you. Here's a glimpse into the Pacific Palisades real estate scene:

  • Pacific Palisades sits above the Pacific Ocean, nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains. This location offers homes with breathtaking coastline views and a steady flow of refreshing ocean breezes.
  • The Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy1) lies between Pacific Palisades and the Pacific Ocean, meaning there are no beachfront homes.
  • Nevertheless, Pacific Palisades boasts numerous ocean and canyon view homes, especially in elevated hillside areas like The Highlands and Marquez Knolls, as well as the western bluffs of downtown-area neighborhoods such as El Medio Bluffs and Castellammare.
  • The majority of housing in Pacific Palisades consists of single-family residences. Condominiums make up about 10% of the properties.
  • A select few condominium complexes and high-rise buildings in the lower Santa Ynez Canyon, where Sunset Boulevard intersects with the PCH, provide some of the most captivating ocean views in The Palisades.

Why buy a home in Pacific Palisades?

  • You want to live in an affluent area close to the ocean.
  • Pacific Palisades has a small town, tight-knit community vibe compared to much of Los Angeles.
  • You’ll gladly trade the conveniences of a centrally located neighborhood (Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, etc.) for a quieter 'coastal living' experience.

More areas to consider

  • Malibu homes are similarly priced to those in Pacific Palisades, but it offers oceanfront homes (at a premium) and hill properties on larger plots than Pacific Palisades. While Malibu can feel remote and rural the farther you venture, it promises clearer night skies and a strong surf culture, giving it a distinct 'beach town' ambiance.
  • Brentwood has comparable home prices and a similar upscale feel, complete with boutique shops. Although it's further from the ocean and offers more distant views, Brentwood's higher elevation results in slightly warmer temperatures.
  • Santa Monica closely resembles Pacific Palisades in terms of its coastal atmosphere. However, Santa Monica boasts a more vibrant downtown area and the North of Montana neighborhood, known for its boutique shopping. Santa Monica is predominantly flat, limiting the number of ocean view homes, but it has a broader range of condominium options.
  • If you want to feel more connected to city life, Beverly Hills is a top choice. It doesn't have the beach town feel, but its residential neighborhoods are peaceful. Downtown Beverly Hills is more animated, offering a plethora of high-end shopping and gourmet dining experiences.
