Welcome to Pacific Palisades

Tranquility and charm along the Pacific coast
 
Pacific Palisades is a seaside sanctuary north of Santa Monica surrounded by stunning views of the Santa Monica Mountains. Adding to its character are six winding canyons, which feature lush vegetation, underground springs, meandering streams, and brooks, and wildlife. This unique landscape gives way to sweeping views of ocean shoreline, forested canyons, and dramatic mountain landscapes.
 
Pacific Palisades is a quiet residential respite offering easy access to the amenities of neighboring Santa Monica and Malibu, though with fewer crowds and tourists. This community lacks the population density found in other Los Angeles neighborhoods, adding to the tranquil vibe of this beachy oasis.
 
 
Pacific Palisades boasts plentiful outdoor activities and is home to lush parks, hike and bike trails, and beach access, making it perfect for the active locals. Palisades Village, the community’s charming downtown, is home to locally-owned restaurants, cafés, and shops.
 
Pacific Palisades has a colorful history beginning in the early 20th century when Western director Thomas Ince built a film studio in the area. The community was officially founded in 1922 when a group of visionary Methodists bought the land — the catalyst for the Palisades’ steady growth throughout the Roaring 20s.
 
Many residents enjoy spacious homes situated on private lots overlooking canyon roads.
