The Birds, the Beach and Me--Southern California Is Not as Crowded as You May Think

The four cities located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula are located in Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles megalopolis is second only to New York City's urban population in the United States. The urban sprawl extends from the sea to the mountains and beyond. From the sky it appears as one continuous city with intermitten open spaces here and there. It's a big city with millions of people. You may wonder, where in the world did I find an empty stretch of beach on a sunny Southern California day?

The photo is not that unusual. I'm often the only person on this stretch of sandy beach. This particular morning there were a few other walkers and this morning there was one lone fisherman as I traversed the dirt trail and made my way down to the water's edge.

If you want to combine the eclectic urban lifestyle of LA with the astonishing natural beauty of coastal living then shouldn't you explore the possibility of the Palos Verdes Lifestyle?

Shhh, let's keep this our little secret.

Luxury Living in Palos Verdes May Not Include Private Jets but it Does Include Privacy

The luxurious life, who doesn't aspire to adding a little luxury to their everyday life? I recently read Jennifer Aniston listed her California zen style home for $42,000,000. A British heiress just purchased Arron Spelling's former home with an opening offer of $75,000,000. Now that's luxury at a level most people will never experience, this writer included. However, we can all experience luxury on some level. The task is to make sure we seize the moment and luxuriate in it to the fullest degree. Living in Palos Verdes offers such moments on a daily basis.

Take privacy. I love and need it after a fast-paced day of real estate ups and downs. I'm fortunate most of my days do not require me to spend hours on the freeway doing the commuter crawl along the 405. However, when returning home from business in Beverly Hills last week, while stopped in a traffic jam, my eyes caught a glimpse of the familiar hill in the distance that I know and love as the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I immediate was filled with a sense of gratitude to be fortunate enough to live in a place surrounded with beauty, privacy and some of the cleanest air in Southern California. What a wonderful place to call home!

Palos Verdes is very protective of its open spaces. The hills and bluffs are laced with hiking and horse trails. There are parks with picnic tables, parks with amazing views, and since it is a peninsula, the wide open spaces of the Pacific Ocean fill the landscape with endless water views on three sides of the land.

You may not be living quite as large these days, but the land, views and lots in Palos Verdes are still large, very large. It is not uncommon to find half-acre lots, and many residents have several acres, especially in the gated city of Rolling Hills.

The Palos Verdes Penisula has no shortage of privacy. Whether your idea of luxury living is a small ranchette and the ability to take a sunrise horseback ride, or a villa tucked high on a hillside with a stunning view of the sunset, Palos Verdes is a luxury location you should consider. It's not Beverly Hills; it's quiet here. We are content to let Mother Nature show off the natural beauty of rolling hills, ocean views, open spaces and yes, that elusive commodity of privacy. Palos Verdes--it's not the LA you know from movies and television--it's better than that! It's the best kept secret in Southern California. Luxury living in Palos Verdes may not include private jets, but it does include privacy. We'll let Hollywood keep the billboards and bright lights; we don't even want street lights. The stars live in Beverly Hills, but the stars shine in Palos Verdes.

If you're ready to create your own Palos Verdes zen retreat Norma Toering & Team can help you. No private jet needed.
