There are many families who dream about coming to Southern California to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather and gorgeous beaches. The agents at Levine Homes understand this allure, and we’re here to tell you why South Bay and Palos Verdes are some of the best places to raise a family in California.

Great Community and Schools

Palos Verdes and the South Bay area enjoy elegant, gorgeous homes that are often valued at over one million dollars. With safe neighborhoods and a high school graduation rate around 98 percent, the 42,000 residents of this area take advantage of beautiful views while providing their children with a safe, quality education. Nearly one-third of the homes in this area include children who are still under the age of 18.

Plenty to Do and See

The South Bay has gorgeous views off of the peninsula. If your family is more of the type to go out and do things, there are golf courses, lighthouses, museums, and the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve to take advantage of. The area is also less than an hour away from Los Angeles, with most commutes averaging 32 minutes. Enjoy big city fun without taking the big city home with you at night.
