About the Neighborhood
Living in Pacific Palisades
Pacific Palisades is one of Los Angeles' most coveted coastal communities, set between Santa Monica and Malibu where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific. Known for its village atmosphere, ocean views, and top-rated schools, 'the Palisades' has long attracted families, executives, and entertainment-industry leaders seeking space, privacy, and proximity to the coast.
The community is made up of distinct pockets, the prestigious Riviera, the walkable Alphabet Streets, the Huntington, Marquez Knolls, and the Highlands, each with its own character and price point. The reimagined Palisades Village retail district anchors the town center with shops, dining, and a community gathering place.
In January 2025, the Palisades wildfire deeply affected the community. Today the neighborhood is in an active period of recovery and rebuilding, and demand for its land, views, and lifestyle remains among the strongest on the Westside. Ben Lee is committed to supporting Palisades homeowners through every stage of that journey.
