Palisades & Brentwood

Those wanting to escape the city find a welcome sight in the Pacific Palisades. Originally established in the 1920s by a Methodist group, it has become a home to multiple celebrities and civilians wanting some peace and quiet from the busy streets of Greater Los Angeles.

Residents of Pacific Palisades enjoy the cool embrace of year-round sea breezes, thanks to their proximity to the Pacific Ocean. It’s more than living at the ocean’s edge, though; this quaint, village-esque town is a friendly place where you can ditch the car for a nice stroll around the area.

There are also plenty of opportunities to enjoy the opulent outdoors in Pacific Palisades. You have a wide array of parks, the hiking trails of Los Leonas Canyon, the scenic biking routes, the beach escapades, and the calming Japanese and botanical gardens. Foodies also have plenty of options to explore. You can check out the Californian cuisine at Café Vida, indulge in the savory sushi at Pearl Dragon, or dine by the awe-inspiring sights at Gladstones.

The neighborhood is a delightful blend of architectural wonder, spanning from Spanish Colonial Revival to Midcentury-Modern. Unlike the neighboring Beverly Hills or Bel Air, its median home price of $4.1M is a modest respite.
