Living in Palos Verdes Estates -the reality
Random thought, I'm a 31-year-old teacher and Median household income is $247,500, which feels pretty solid for the area. You can expect to pay around $3,331 for rent here. Poverty rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Chain restaurants dominate
