Spanish and Mediterranean homes with red-tile roofs step down the hillside toward unobstructed "queen's necklace" coastline views; the neighborhood holds most of the city's townhomes and apartments alongside the 1925 Malaga Cove Plaza, designed by architect Myron Hunt and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

A coastal neighborhood split into upper and lower sections by Palos Verdes Drive West, built around a small town center of local shops and restaurants near Lunada Bay Elementary and Palos Verdes High School.

Home to the city's largest single-family lots, laid out on the hillside terrain with expansive ocean and coastline views.

The same eye, as an actual inspection

Reading a listing from the desk is not an inspection. When you are under contract, the house still has to be walked — roof to slab, by an inspector.
