The city of Rancho Palos Verdes is quite beautiful. When you are at the top of Hawthorne boulevard and driving southbound down the hill, you can view the ocean from the right hand side and in front of you.
The city is clean. The fire department is awesome. Be careful not to speed because the sheriff's will definitely catch you and give you a speeding ticket. The downside is the fact that many of the drivers in this city drive poorly. There is a reason automobile insurance is higher here than off the hill.
Due to the close vicinity of the post office, mall, grocery stores, large parks with playgrounds, gas stations, and five different Starbucks within a five mile radius, there is really no reason to leave the city. The neighborhood is very safe.

The best part of Rancho Palos Verdes is definitely its scenic views and beautiful cliffs and coves. The schools are highly ranked and are competitive, always preparing for the next step in education. However, the cost of living is very high and the restaurant selection is minimal, yet the close proximity to culturally-rich towns like Torrance and Redondo Beach, as well as the 45-minute drive to Downtown Los Angeles, make up for it.
RPV has been a beautiful place to grow up. Safe neighborhoods, tight-knit communities, and excellent school systems. Tons of options for outdoor activities, and close to the freeway and other cities.
