An affluent yet incredibly boring suberb in Los Angeles County located along the coast between San Pedro and Redondo Beach. Also known as "The Hill" or "The Bubble". Noteworthy for having no entertainment of any kind at any time, forcing inhabitants to drive to neighboring beach cities such as Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan for nightlife, while hoping to avoid the loving embrace of the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department upon their inebriated return. Noteworthy for having the only 7/11 in the free world that isn't open 24/7.

The town in which tennis moms meet for coffee at Starbucks and exchange the latest gossip, CEO fathers head off to work every morning in their designer suits carrying Italian leather suitcases, and teenagers in fancy cars, with music turned all the way up, drive to the top of the hill to start a new day of classes and social interactions. A place of cliffside mansions, localized surf spots, and an unnecessary number of golf courses. City council has control over how tall trees get, whether or not street lights are allowed, and the new pool in your backyard.

1. A collective term for the four cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula (Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes, and Rancho Palos Verdes).

2. Literally means "green sticks" in Spanish.

3. Also known as "the hill."

This community is wealthy and has a top rating for the public schools, but it is still one of the most bigoted and elitist communities ever. The people there act like they are against racism and care so much about black people, yet one of their high schools had years of racial incidents. The only reason why the high schools rank so well although there is a lot of work is because the parents pay for the best tutors for their kids. Most of the teachers don't contribute shit for either of the school's top rankings. And yet the school system puts so little value into mental health and more into the test scores they can show off to the rest of the country!

There is literally nothing to do here. All the teens like to do here is fight, party, and smoke and then just jump on social media when they get home, yet they still exclude people. This community is not like the rest of LA county. It's not diverse, there is very little to do, and it is it's own community. You'll have an easier time getting to know the Mexicans that don't even live there but commute there from other areas to do manual labor for residents and the schools there.

I gotta correct some misconceptions about PV. Yes, it's affluent, but it's not nearly as showy and plastic as, say, Beverly Hills or Brentwood. It has a very small town feel. And yes, it has no night life, but we like it that way. It's quiet. It has trees. It has nature. It has wild animals. It has few street lights. We live here because we hate downtown LA, Orange County, and other concrete overly developed jungles. It's a beautiful oasis in a sea of ugly cities. We get the benefits of both worlds. We can leave The Hill into the lower cesspool for whatever we need, but can return back to the sweet peace. PV rocks.

all of these definitions are correct, for the most part. just one thing, not everyone is as bitchy and snobby as they're made up to be. it's okay to drive something that isn't a bmw/mercedes/any other expensive car. we've got our bitches, but which town doesn't?
