Look At This: Palos Verdes Peninsula

In this episode of Look At This!, Desmond Shaw teaches us a little bit about one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the entire country: Palos Verdes Peninsula.

[@inspmike]

He actually gave the wrong city names. There actually are Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Rolling Hills and Palos Verdes Estates. There is not city called Palos Verdes Hills.

I came to say the same. I used to live in RPV.

[@denkodel6516]

There is City of Los Angeles (SAN Pedro) which is physically on the east side of the Peninsula as well!

[@marsbeads]

@@denkodel6516 San Pedro is not part of the Palos Verdes Peninsula cities. It’s consolidated with Los Angeles.

[@denkodel6516]

@@marsbeads actually you are wrong. Please refer to a map of the Peninsula and you will see that San Pedro is the South-East part of the Peninsula. A Peninsula is a landmass that is surround by water on 3 sides, San Pedro is one whole side of the Peninsula.

[@marsbeads]

@@denkodel6516 I know what a peninsula is and San Pedro is east of the cities in Palos Verdes. Physically San Pedro is part of the peninsula, but it is not included in with the cities of Palos Verdes. San Pedro is a neighborhood that is part of Los Angeles. I know, I used to live in Palos Verdes. I was born and raised in the area.

I used to live in Long Beach, and worked at an Interior Design office in Riviera Village, just outside Palos Verdes Estates. Our clients were all over the pennisula. I worked on the redesign of the clubhouse for the Palos Verdes Bay Club. Incredible views of the ocean! 😎 If you ever get a chance, drive from San Pedro around the pennisula on the backside towards Malaga Cove in PVE at NIGHT! OMG, the view of the entire LA Basin is a must see, it's called the... "Queen's Necklace"! The lights along the shore line all the way to Malibu! 🤗 I miss the area...😢

Better hurry. It's sinking (geologically) fast.

[@sherimann6144]

A million? For the whole peninsula? You couldn't buy a parking space there for a million dollars

[@nabi5864]

Used to live in Rancho Palos Verdes back in the late 80s... My Dad bought a property there for just under $500k ... Shortly after his passing , we were able that same property for just over $2mill ...A friend of ours also sold their residential property but off of PV Estates... They bought theirs at a mere $250k back in the early 80s and sold at $3.5mill

PV is the best ! Home to a lot of USC alumni and coaches.

[@1ouncebird]

How nice a place PV is has nothing to do with the presence of people from a low morals, cheat at any cost syndicate.

Nothing going on ? wth……Indigenous say other wise

[@r.pres.4121]

Most of this rugged peninsula is covered with unstable soils and should have been made either public parkland or a nature preserve rather than four haphazardly planned suburban communities for the greedy undeserving wealthy. Most of this peninsula is not safe to build on yet more fancy modern new homes keep getting built on this unstable ground.

[@frankblangeard8865]

It is next to the Pacific Ocean. Aside from that it is pretty ugly.

[@lucasmartinez21]

Incredible how Europeans put a price on a stolen land

[@calihuntfish7163]

Is what it is

[@sbs3003ses]

How can something that was never possessed be stolen

[@adventuresinthebay8487]

Might makes right.

[@adammwalch]

OMG. With all due respect, shut up

[@MoonLanta]

Conquered. Not stolen. Cope and seethe.

[@XtraLongD]

Not much going on?! This land was stolen by the edomites from the Tongva people

[@adammwalch]

OMG. Just shut up

[@pinkfreud62]

Guess they didn't bother fighting for it much.
