Pacific Palisades is a district within Los Angeles, California, located between Brentwood to the east, Malibu to the west, Santa Monica to the southeast, the Santa Monica Bay to the southwest, and the Santa Monica Mountains to the north. The area currently has about 27,000 residents. It is a very affluent and primarily residential area, with a mixture of large private homes, small (usually older) houses, condominiums, and apartments. It has a small central business district with retail stores, cafes, and restaurants on Sunset Boulevard known as the “Village . Pacific Palisades also has some large parks and many miles of trails for the outdoor enthusiast.
In 1925, the Palisades had only 100 homes. One subdivision has streets named for Methodist missionaries. Slowly the landscape changed as Los Angeles’ population grew. It first began as bungalows, which changed to cottages and now to many multi-million dollar mansions. It’s almost a cross between Santa Monica and Malibu. Many residents use Santa Monica amenities and the streets have a similar feel to the affluent Santa Monica area north of Montana Avenue. At the same time, Pacific Palisades has a similar small town feel to that of Malibu. This is largely in part to the fact that there is only one primary way in and out of the city, Sunset Boulevard. So with this combination, residents are able to enjoy a little bit of both worlds while being much closer to Los Angeles than one would be in Malibu. Pacific Palisades has also attracted many of the rich and famous who live in other nearby cities such as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Malibu.
The quality of life and small town feel are what really make Pacific Palisades something special. It is a very family oriented town where the residents intermingle and get together in the “Village” for a cup of coffee. Many people even say that the city has an east coast charm which is not found in any other cities on the Westside.
