Rolling Hills Homes for Sale & Real Estate Guide

Rolling Hills is a private, gated equestrian city on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, incorporated in 1957. Every home sits behind staffed gates on private roads, residential lots are at least one acre, and the city is served by Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. There are no stores or businesses inside the gates.

Rolling Hills is quiet, private and spread out. Three staffed gates control access, the roads are private, and bridle trails and riding rings connect the community. The Rolling Hills Community Association manages the gates, roads, trails and common areas, and it reviews architecture under the community's deed restrictions. Lots have a one-acre minimum and average about 2.7 acres, according to the city. Homes are mostly ranch-style single-family houses, many with stables, barns, arenas or room for them. Because there is no commercial space inside the city, shopping and dining are a short drive away in Rolling Hills Estates. Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District serves Rolling Hills. Buyers should plan for added steps: gate access for showings and contractors, association review for changes and early insurance quotes for hillside, brush-covered land.

Is Rolling Hills a good place to buy a home?

For buyers who want privacy, land and room for horses, it is one of the few places in the South Bay that offers all three. The tradeoffs are driving for every errand, association review for changes and gate access for visitors and contractors. Spend time inside the gates before you decide.

Is Rolling Hills a gated community?

Yes. The entire city of Rolling Hills is gated, with three staffed gates and private roads managed by the Rolling Hills Community Association. Visitors, contractors and buyers touring homes need to be cleared at the gate, so showings are scheduled ahead of time through the listing agent.

What school district serves Rolling Hills?
