Grew up in Palos Verdes and absolutely loved it! Great schools, big properties/space, safe, quiet and amazing views and activities. Pricier than other South Bay cities but well worth it. I can only dream I’ll end up there again one day! It really does not compare to any other city in LA county.
A beautiful suburb I feel comfortable walking around at any time of day or night. It is a remarkable place to raise kids or retire with peaceful trails, top-of-the-line public schools and programs, and some of the best traffic in LA county.
The only reason I rate it four instead of five stars is just that–it's an excellent place to raise kids or retire. There are not many opportunities to experience new things, grow, or start businesses. It gets boring after a while, especially for young people looking to explore life. Not to mention the outrageous cost of living and occasionally stuck-up spoiled brats you encounter in schools, or even on a walk.

It is up the hill with the view of the beautiful ocean. There is both great public middle school and high school near the neighborhood. Also, food markets, restaurants, gas stations, shopping mall are all fairly close by.
