SperlingViews - Palos_Verdes_Estates, California

Palos Verdes Estates California is one of the best places to live in California. Beginning with the weather: since we are on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the city is surrounded by water on two sides. This has a great determining factor on the weather. The area seems to have it's own microclimate, not too hot in the summer and not to cool in the winter. It also, seems to have less wind coming in off the ocean in the afternoon which makes the area extremely livable, even in the evenings. The community: due to it's location on the PV peninsula it actually gives you the feeling that you are not a suburb of Los Angeles, it has more of a country atmosphere and not like big city. Schools: Public schools here are always rated highly in the state. These are just a few of the reasons that the quality of life can be so good in this community.

Who would have dreamed you could send your kids to the public schools and not worry whether they are getting a great education. Who would have dreamed that just to run everyday errands you would get to see endless ocean and catalina views. Who would have dreamed its still achievable to make happen and there are houses starting at 1Million!
