The Pacific Palisades is one of the most desirable enclaves in California. Nestled away from the rest of Los Angeles, yet easily accessible, the Palisades provides a sanctuary with a secluded small-town feel where neighbors know one another and exchange greetings as they pass by. The approximately 29,000 residents that called the Palisades home, chose to live here for the close-knit community, stunning coastal views, convenient beach access, ocean breezes, hiking trails and convenient town center. With restaurants, grocery stores, a farmer’s market, banking, shopping, a hardware store and the Caruso Palisades Village Development, you don’t have to leave the Palisades once you arrive. The top-rated public and private schools of the Palisades provide plenty of educational options for the family-friendly.
A serious fire impacted the community in January 2025, burning down over half the homes and many commercial spaces, yet recovery is well under way. Each neighborhood within the Palisades was impacted to a varying degree and having a local real estate expert is more important than ever in navigating the post-fire environment.
