The second developed city of the 4 cities on the Palos
Verdes Peninsula, Rolling Hills is one of the few gated cities in the entire
United States. The original and
continuing focus of this city was to create acommunity of one story ranch homes with every property having space
guaranteed to allow construction of a stable on lots that tend to be at least 1
acre and larger;of course, now many homeowners
do not have horses but appreciate the privacy that larger lots can provide. 24 hour manned guard gates on 3 sides of the
city provide the ultimate in security. Since the city is located in the heart of the Palos Verdes Peninsula at
the top of the Peninsula, homes can have views of the Santa Monica Bay and
coastline, the ocean and Catalina Island, or the harbor and southern
coast. What most impresses one on
entering the City is the extensive greenscape with tall trees providing
wonderful natural privacy. The city has
easy access to the large commercial center at the middle of the Palos Verdes
Peninsula which offers a 3 story mall as well as several large strip malls with
sufficient amenities that you rarely need to leave the Peninsula. And of course, the award winning elementary,
middle and high schools of Palos Verdes unified school district are
nearby. Wonderful recreational
facilities from tennis courts for City residents and over 25 miles of equestrian
and Peninsula hiking trails plus easy access to the ocean and several nearby
golf courses and yacht clubs and Terranea spa. While enjoying wonderful privacy, you are still an easy drive to Los
Angeles International Airport, downtown Los Angeles and many major entertainment
facilities like Disneyland and Universal Studios.
