Home to movie stars and the affluent, beautiful Pacific Palisades is located between the cities of Santa Monica and Malibu. Covering 23,431 acres with a population of approximately 25,000, this charming small town was founded in 1922 as a residential community (Pacific Palisades is a town of the City of Los Angeles, but residents, through city groups, exercise much local control and fiercely protect their "village" atmosphere). It is nestled between the lush, green Santa Monica Mountains and the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean. The "palisades" (high bluffs) run for three miles along the ocean affording area homes with breathtaking views of Santa Monica Bay.

Neighborhoods and enclaves contained in Pacific Palisades are the Palisades Riviera, the Huntington Palisades, the Alphabet Streets, the Bluffs, Marquez Knoll and the Palisades Highlands.

Area attractions include the Paul Getty Museum, Will Rogers Park, Temescal Canyon Park, Riviera Country Club, the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine and the Pacific Athletic Club. Pacific Palisades has outstanding public and private schools and is in close proximity to UCLA, Pepperdine, and Loyola-Marymount.
