Population

Rancho Palos Verdes is the largest city on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, stretching along the southern coastline from Palos Verdes Estates to San Pedro. Homes include mid-century ranch and split-level tracts, custom view homes and townhomes, and most of the city is served by Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District.

Rancho Palos Verdes has a lot of coastline and open land. The Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, Point Vicente, Abalone Cove and the coastal trails are part of daily life for many residents. Much of the housing was built from the 1950s through the 1970s, so many buyers look at remodeled ranch homes, split-levels or lots with room to update. There are also custom view homes and townhome communities. Neighborhoods include Eastview, Silver Spur, Ridgegate and the coastal tracts off Palos Verdes Drive South. Schools are worth checking by address: most of the city is in Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified, while the Eastview area is in Los Angeles Unified, with an option for families there to attend PVPUSD schools. Parts of the Portuguese Bend area have had serious land movement. The city reported movement had slowed substantially as of September 2026 (City of Rancho Palos Verdes land movement updates), but buyers near that area should review the city's maps and reports.

Is Rancho Palos Verdes a good place to buy a home?
