A very special place to visit in Palos Verdes Estates is the Labyrinth at Neighborhood Church. There is a memorial plaque which reads, "For the Journey of Life to Help You find Your Way." It is "Dedicated to the Memory of Miriam Levonian". As you walk the path to the center (which is marked as a shell), you are to ponder your life. I am usually struck with thoughts of all that I have to be...
Afternoon Tea at Trump National in Rancho Palos Verdes must be ordered a day ahead and you will enjoy beautiful ocean views while dine.
Surfing in Palos Verdes is a favorite past time. The Palos Verdes coast provides many bays and coves where you can surf.
On Thursday evening, I drove down Palos Verdes Drive South and noticed lights on at our new Terranea Resort. A call to Ara Mihranian, Project Planner at the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, confirmed that the contractors are working extended hours in the enclosed interiors of the site. It is the developers intent to have the project finished by June 2009. Photo above is of the entry court of the main...

How lucky are we here on the Palos Verdes Peninsula that we have so many that we can't count or name them all! Our coastline is truly magnificent! Matt Waters at Rancho Palos Verdes Parks and Recreation Department did some...
Recently, there have been Blue Whale sightings only two miles off the Palos Verdes Peninsula coast near Point Vicente. The Peninsula News reported that the whales are here to eat the abundant krill that are attracted to the nutrients near the continental shelf off our coast. The blue whale is the largest mammal on earth (as long as 3 school buses) and can weigh up to 336,000 pounds. They are an...
Are open houses an efficient sales tool for sellers? I am up front with my clients selling Palos Verdes real estate. I tell them that I will hold occasional public open houses for them; statistics show that only 3% of homes are sold to buyers walking into an open house. Plus there is the security issue. I cannot be in every room at every minute and we receive periodic notices from other Realtors...
