Welcome to Pacific Palisades
Though Pacific Palisades is now populated by LA’s affluent, its residential history is much more colorful. In the 1910s it was home to “Inceville,” one of the first major film studios founded by Western director Thomas Ince. In 1922 a Methodist reverend bought the land and founded a religious-intellectual commune.
They say that there are almost 1,000 different neighborhoods in LA, and as a native Angeleno, I've lived, worked, and played in many of them. Now, as a Los Angeles Realtor®, I'm highlighting some of my favorites to help you explore my beautiful city and find the right home in the right neighborhood, wherever that may be. Today, I'm in Pacific Palisades.

Its quaint “downtown” area, known as The Village, is home to restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. Frequent neighborhood-sponsored events foster a true feeling of community among residents.
Looking for a different location? Homes for sale in Beverly Hills real estate and Brentwood real estate put the "extra" in "extravagant."

What to Expect:
Beautiful scenery, a charming downtown, and a strong sense of community.
Pacific Palisades is one of L.A. real estate’s best-kept secrets.

A weekly farmer’s market and hyperlocal dining and retail add to its small-town feel. The neighborhood is also home to the stunning Getty Villa, the second outpost of the J. Paul Getty Museum, which features Roman-inspired architecture and gardens.
