View nearby citythe wide equestrian parcels of the Palos Verdes hills
Large parcels and older custom homes define Rolling Hills Estates, and many of the original masonry fireplaces on those properties need a careful structural look given the seismic activity common to hillside ground. Open, elevated lots throughout the community also mean wind exposure is a bigger factor than in more sheltered neighborhoods.
