Welcome to Pacific Palisades
One of LA’s lushest neighborhoods.
Pacific Palisades is a polished, coastal, quiet residential area with large private homes, spectacular ocean views, and ample amounts of park space and hiking trails. Its quaint “downtown” area, known as The Village, is home to restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. Frequent neighborhood-sponsored events foster a true feeling of community among residents.
Though Pacific Palisades is now populated by LA’s affluent, its residential history is much more colorful. In the 1910s it was home to “Inceville,” one of the first major film studios founded by Western director Thomas Ince. In 1922 a Methodist reverend bought the land and founded a religious-intellectual commune.
What to Expect
Beautiful scenery, a charming downtown, and a strong sense of community.
Pacific Palisades is one of LA’s best-kept secrets. It offers the ocean views, beach access, and impressive outdoor opportunities of neighboring Santa Monica and Malibu, but attracts fewer tourists. A weekly farmer’s market and hyperlocal dining and retail add to its small-town feel. The neighborhood is also home to the stunning Getty Villa, the second outpost of the J. Paul Getty Museum, which features Roman-inspired architecture and gardens.
The Lifestyle
Brimming with sunshine, endorphins, and a deep appreciation for life’s finer things.
Pacific Palisades’ fitness-forward residents make great use of the ample park space and beautiful beaches, and spend weekends patronizing high-end neighborhood restaurants and shops.
Unexpected Appeal
Access to many of LA’s finest trails.
Invest in a good pair of running shoes and take in the ocean views from one of the neighborhood’s many footpaths, like those at Will Rogers State Historic Park.
The Market
Populated by spacious single-family homes on private lots.
Residents pay top dollar to inhabit this seaside hamlet, enjoying the breaktaking views as well as the sense of safety and quiet Pacific Palisades affords.
You'll Fall In Love With

This coastal neighborhood offers plentiful outdoor space, but Palisades Park is the largest—117 acres—and most accessible communal area.
