Not true. Palisades is the RICHEST. Malibu can get real “ranchy” real fast, and is essentially unincorporated (though it’s a real city). Brentwood, Bel Air, Bev Hills are all a manufactured, manicured “rich”, but none are beach cities; in LA, the beach is WHERE it’s AT, thus Palisades encapsulates all of the above.

It has some magnificent estates which have the luxury of privacy and old world elegance and are well worth seeing.
You would be correct. As a very poor Hispanic growing up in OC my dad moved to San Marino and has been living there since 2007. I moved in with him for 4 years and would often take night walks through Pasadena. It was a beautiful time in my life. So quiet, peaceful and beautiful. I remember a particular neighborhood near CalTech having such beautiful homes. It was nice to walk around on an afternoon. Maybe one day I’ll move back when I make millions 😂
Beverly Park has large lots, gated entry & has a much higher $$$/house than the Palisades. Can also try Malibu Colony, LA Country Club (Playboy Mansion, Spelling Estate), Lower Bel Air, etc. Different metrics of $$$/sf of land, $$$/sf of house or $$$/house will yield different results.
I've driven through upscale neighborhoods in several different cities...outside of it being in California, it looks pretty much like any other elite neighborhood. Same kind of houses, same society. Makes no difference where it's at, you've seen one rich neighborhood, you've seen 'em all.
@@doctormcgoveran2194 Looks are deceiving. Many of these homes have decent sized lots and the backyards are spectacular. Most were built in the 20's, 30's and 40's and it was way different back then. East coast houses are built differently just due to difference in weather. Palisades doesn't receive any snow . . .

@@doctormcgoveran2194 Well then, come see for yourself. Have a few realtors give you tours of available homes. Never judge a book by its cover. West coast is extremely different than east coast, as well the South, midwest, the plains, northwest. Every part of the country has something different to offer as well as architecture.
Let’s just while working in this area for 21 yeas was one the best time in my life. I miss the school children and their parents. I remember when my roof caught fire, and I was out on workers comp. The parents heard about my circumstances. And raised $4500.00 dollars to help me survive until I was able to return to work. Not to mention I was catching the bus 2 hours to work. Anyway. I used that money to myself a used car, .payed some bills, etc. So I’m here today thanking all of my ex-coworkers, friends and family of Pacific Palisades, Ca. Thank You for the best 20 years of my working career. ( Yes, I was very fortunate enough to visit and see inside of some the homes there, and even get to ride in some nice cars). There cultural experiences is to die for. I outdone go on and on about how I love this area but just watch this video and you decide for yourself what my life was like working around such an diverse community.
There are very kind people in the Palisades. I’m glad that you were so well treated and that you have good memories of the time you spent here. You may have seen the t-shirt that was sold in town…”If you are rich, you live in Beverly Hills. If you are famous, you live in Malibu. If you are lucky you live in Pacific Palisades.’ Amen!

You should do Manhattan Beach, more specifically the Hill section in MB. There are some truly rich people there. MB, by medium household income, is consistently ranked top 2 in LA. Very laid back. the mansions are beautiful and you can actually see them :)
I lived in an apt on Highland and had a view from Palos Verdes up to Malibu. On a clear day, we could see Catalina. It was terrific, but the building sold and the new owner wanted our apt so we had to move out. But we walked to Pancho's 4x a week - best Mexican food around!!!
All lies, Beverly Hills and bel air have the most expensive properties. Pacific palisades have really rich people and it’s not the most expensive neighborhood
@@sab4205 dude, Beverly Hills is in LA county and it is part of the LA metro area, but it is NOT part of the city of Los Angeles. BH is a city in its own right, with its own mayor and government.
the big houses in LA California are bigger and go further back and they aren't built with plywood either lol they are real high quality builds tough enough to withstand earth quake turbulence
This is actually sad. You see parked cars but barely any person out on the street, or in the yard, or on the balcony. It's a ghost town. It feels like they don't even (want to) know their neighbors.
@@johndong7524 I was gonna say, that is most of American suburbia lol. So lifeless. At least in this video the homes have character and aren't the same cookie cutter design over and over and over again
Thanks so much for this, and I love the music you chose. I love your HIGH END NEIGHBORHOODS and the other extreme LOWEST ENDS. We love the beauty but still we gotta know what's going on.
For all the California haters out there, yes these may not look as ritzy as some in other places, but what you're paying for is the weather, proximity to the ocean and mountains and many other things that don't translate well on real estate listings, traffic aside.
@@scorpioguy94 well how bout a State that has the most National Parks and the largest State Park.........I think LA sucks, but LA isn't all of California
I worked in most of the wealthiest areas of Belair, Brentwood, Hollywood Hills. What makes the Palisades different is that it's a neighborhood instead of a collection of expensive homes. Also it's proximity to the beach and Malibu doesn't hurt. 🤑
I like neighborhoods that aren't all mansions, just really nice (albeit large) houses - PP, Hancock Park, San Marino parts of old Pasadena, etc..- that for all their wealth convey the impression that real people actually live there.
You make it sound like east coasters have never seen extreme wealth when The east coast has extremely wealthy folks, too! So not getting what was so eye opening when all you did was drive by big, expensive homes. Maybe you need to take a drive (or walk) around your own back yard .
Great video but PP is far from the wealthiest neighborhood in Los Angeles. I have seen and worked in them all including Pacific Palisades. Most of the wealthiest neighborhoods you cannot drive into but we can start with the Platinum Triangle which is Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Beverly Hills. I have worked in 30-70 million dollar estates there. Beverly Park is another uber exclusive community with absolutely ridiculous estates ranging from 20-60 million, home to Rod Stewart, Magic Johnson, Jami Gertz, Eddie Murphy, and Mark Wahlberg to name a few. Malibu is probably the most exclusive beach community in L.A. but there are many.
I grew up there in the 1970s and 80s. Pali class of 81’ Wasn’t as wealthy back then. Most of the original ranch style homes have all been torn down to make way for 2 and 3 story fortresses. Back then it was mostly TV stars and writers that lived above Capri, riviera, and the Huntington. The rest was of it was middle class to the ocean. Times have changed.
It makes sense, in terms of RE value per sq ft, to max the floorplan. Santa Monica put a moratorium on urban mansions many years ago due to 1200 ft bungalows being " remodeled" into 7000 sq ft barns. Blocked out the neighbor's sunlight.
Yes I noticed that too . Same thing with my parents house they bought a house for 65k in 1974 and now everything around them costs 25 or 30 million dollars but the taxes are prop 13 so they won`t move.
My aunt and uncle bought a house on Sunset in the 50’s. He worked at Douglas Aircraft as a tool and die maker. My aunt babysat for local schoolchildren, my grandmother lived with them. House is still there, 2 bedroom, one bath. It has changed here. Old homes are being torn down. Still a great place to live. Young families are buying homes here. It’s a great place to live. (Young professionals.)
I’m sorry but Beverly Hills and that section of sunset has become SO CONGESTED. In Brentwood / Palisades you have 1. much cleaner Air since their near the ocean 2. Less traffic 3. Are close to Malibu and the city
@@tommyk2730 lol yeah the reality that we have less traffic cleaner air, live next to the ocean and all the NBA stars and Larry David’s of Hollywood live in our area? Ben affleck Jennifer Anniston list goes ON and ON. You are far behind the times you live in 2005
That was no doubt a great video! Although! If I could be down there in LA right now! I’d probably go to Staples Center if I could visit there right now! But also! I’d love to go back to Venice Beach. I went there my last visit to LA! And it was great! Not just their Beach! But also their shops & they had great Food Stands too. Nick! Just one question! Do you have any more videos about LA coming up anytime soon? Because if you do! I’d be interested to see what they could be about. And maybe a suggestion too! If you maybe do a ranking of great places to go in & around LA! I think Venice Beach would look good on that list for good activities! Just a thought!
I live in chicago and it's beautiful but then again I live in a "wealthy neighborhood." I would like him to drive through Lakeview because people get such a bad view of Chicago when there's good and bad places.
It looks like regular homes! Pretty surprised! Drive through Spring Lake NJ, or Deal NJ, or LBI in NJ, I am a New Yorker not a fan of the Hamptons homes and I used to be a nanny and saw all of the richest homes especially in South Hampton. Where people who have private planes and helicopter and horses. Not impressed but the homes in NJ are spectacular! These are pretty ordinary! But thanks for showing us!
There are a ton of places like what you described in CA...this area used to be middle class and were small lots...so many rich folks moved in and upgraded the houses a bit. Most expensive homes in the US are indeed in CA so are the richest peeps in the country, so is the largest economy hahaha sorry I'm a proud Californian and you were talking about my hood.
been a fan of the channel for a while. I'm from LA and its great to see you visiting and talking about it, while i watch your channel to help me learn about someplace thats less of a hell hole lol
Thank you for the tour, I found it ordinary though as I thought it looked a very flat suburb until the end when you seemed to go up a hill also the houses seem very close together, gosh I think you must come and see the mansions in suburbs around Sydney Australia, utterly fantastic with hills looking over the Harbour, actually add Melbourne as well, but water views get me everytime.
Beautiful neighborhood but I hate how close together the homes are. I get that LA has a huge population so it makes sense that the houses are close together but personally I’d rather have more space between me and my neighbors.
You are clearly living in the 90’s cus that area has become so congested over the years. Literally all the big shots live here and Brentwood now cus less traffic and much cleaner air quality since were right next to the ocean. Bev Hills has become tacky / smoggy
I grew up in Sherman Oaks... way up in the hills. We could see 2/3 of the San Fernando valley from our balcony, when the Santa Ana winds blew away all the 60's-70's smog. Huge house, on 1 acre...
My father was a liaison officer between the LA Co. Sheriff (then Gene Biscaluz) and the entertainment industry. I occasionally got to ride around with him all over the SM Mountains as he did his rounds. PP was indeed a deal then, though no more so than Holmby, Bel Air, Brentwood, Coldwater, Stone Canyon, Mulholland, etc. BH -- with its long set-backs in the tract between Santa Monica & Sunset -- was more striking, but also more public. Thanks for the cruise down memory lane even if the hedges are a =lot= bigger now.
PP is a nice place to live, but certainly not the "wealthiest." Many of these homes are quite modest, and crowded together more like the San Fernando Valley. You ain't gonna see Barbra Streisand walking around this neighborhood, for sure. For that, you're talking about the Malibu Colony, or Bel Air, or Trousdale Estates. Most of these are secure, gated communities, while the Palisades are often designed for large working families.
@@QrlzM You got that right! My friend lives here, and he likes the "beachy" kind of vibe here, but the homes are in the MILLIONS. The only celebs in his hood are Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, but I wouldn't call them the typical "Hollywood couple."
@@tiffsaver right and I didn’t mention Hombly Hills which has mapelton drive the billionaires street and the most expensive street on the west cost That neighborhood alone has the playboy mansion, spelling manor, the Hilton state, and others mansions with acres of land with high hedges.
@@QrlzM You're freaking PSYCHIC. I was going to mention HH, but forgot. That's where Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion is located, on a huge estate. If I could live anywhere, that's exactly where I'd want to live.
It's a mix. The Spanish houses tend to be the oldest and were built in the '20s. The smaller ranch homes are from the post-war era ('50s-'60s). The Cape Cod style houses are pretty new, like within the last 15 years.
The roads all look so cracked and patchy 😮. So unbefitting with the neighbourhood's affluent status. Some look even worse than the ones in developing countries like mine in Southeast Asia.
LA has way more roads lol they didn't invest in public mass transit so everyone drives everywhere. They spend billions per year just to maintain all the roads and its still not enough (plus US salaries mean maintenance is more expensive). In the actual richer area like Beverly Hills the roads are nicer, and then right at the border the roads become ugly haha
an ideal home would come with land - 10 or 20 acres with stables, garden, large pool and neighbors far away. your neighbors are practically breathing down your neck here.
Eh depends on what you're used to. I grew up here my whole life, (my neighborhood is about 10 miles east of this neighborhood) so the idea of having so much space between neighbors actually horrifies me! Whenever I see homes like that all I think about it is, "what if something happens, whose gonna hear, see or help me" lol. Some space is good but too much would give me anxiety.
@@naomiemoore5725 I mean in case of emergency. I don't want people to hear everyday conversations lol but if there's commotion I'd want my neighbors to be close enough to be able to tend to me and vice versa.

East coast houses are built differently just due to difference in weather. Palisades doesn't receive any snow . . .
Palm Beach getting new Number 1 Florida Man that they don't want. I'm sorry. My comments seem to be on autopilot lately. I'm such inserting a needed laugh
@@doctormcgoveran2194 Well then, come see for yourself. Have a few realtors give you tours of available homes. Never judge a book by its cover. West coast is extremely different than east coast, as well the South, midwest, the plains, northwest. Every part of the country has something different to offer as well as architecture.
You are right
The weather and scenery make a difference
Let’s just while working in this area for 21 yeas was one the best time in my life. I miss the school children and their parents. I remember when my roof caught fire, and I was out on workers comp. The parents heard about my circumstances. And raised $4500.00 dollars to help me survive until I was able to return to work. Not to mention I was catching the bus 2 hours to work. Anyway. I used that money to myself a used car, .payed some bills, etc. So I’m here today thanking all of my ex-coworkers, friends and family of Pacific Palisades, Ca. Thank You for the best 20 years of my working career. ( Yes, I was very fortunate enough to visit and see inside of some the homes there, and even get to ride in some nice cars). There cultural experiences is to die for. I outdone go on and on about how I love this area but just watch this video and you decide for yourself what my life was like working around such an diverse community.
So nice to hear that the neighbors pitched in to help. There are good people everywhere.
There are very kind people in the Palisades. I’m glad that you were so well treated and that you have good memories of the time you spent here. You may have seen the t-shirt that was sold in town…”If you are rich, you live in Beverly Hills. If you are famous, you live in Malibu. If you are lucky you live in Pacific Palisades.’ Amen!
Have you ever notice that in rich neighborhoods, you rarely see children's playing outside?
I know, right? It's so weird
Are there any children playing outside in other states or in poor counties ? 🤔
@@sheri34 I live in a kinda shitty town in Massachusetts and kids are always outside in the summer.
I didn't notice any kids in his Compton video either.
Or pedestrians.
Very comfortable looking homes, quiet and tranquil
You should do a drive through Calabases or Hidden Hills if you can.
Hidden Hills,is a gated community, so I doubt they would let you in.
That was a excellent example of the california roll at 6:13. Smooth, not even a hint of an actual stop. Just glide on through. LOL
I mastered that growing up there
@@NickJohnson Grew up here also. And that is why I complemented you. Only a true resident can glide like that. Foreigners are so jerky about it, bad on the execution. Anyway great channel. I am home ridden and you are informative as well as entertaining. Thank you for being a professional on the tube.
Why stop when nobody is coming? 😄
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that lol
@@letsc2011 compliment*
You should do Manhattan Beach, more specifically the Hill section in MB. There are some truly rich people there. MB, by medium household income, is consistently ranked top 2 in LA. Very laid back. the mansions are beautiful and you can actually see them :)
Maria lives there . Anyone for tennis. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
stfu don't mention the south let the tourist stay up there north LA county is the best side to live on!!
In Europe all settlements look like this. And even more modern. American Dream is just an illusion. Big lie.
I lived in an apt on Highland and had a view from Palos Verdes up to Malibu. On a clear day, we could see Catalina. It was terrific, but the building sold and the new owner wanted our apt so we had to move out. But we walked to Pancho's 4x a week - best Mexican food around!!!
This is my neighborhood, I never thought I would find my town on this channel!
You live here? You must be rich

All lies, Beverly Hills and bel air have the most expensive properties. Pacific palisades have really rich people and it’s not the most expensive neighborhood
@@jolly7728 you’re wrong 🙄

This looks like a middle class/upper middle class neighborhood in a Texas suburb.
the big houses in LA California are bigger and go further back and they aren't built with plywood either lol they are real high quality builds tough enough to withstand earth quake turbulence
No these are architectural monuments built to the highest degree. Not some hill billy converted barn wood shack
not even!
Lol Texas homes are ugly McMansions built with wood. These homes are actually good looking.
Nah, Texas homes are ugly af comapred to beautiful California homes
Now homes are over priced, no yard, no space in between homes and all look alike, also short supply of homes as well
This is actually sad. You see parked cars but barely any person out on the street, or in the yard, or on the balcony. It's a ghost town. It feels like they don't even (want to) know their neighbors.
Welcome to America. It's everywhere like this.
@@johndong7524 I was gonna say, that is most of American suburbia lol. So lifeless. At least in this video the homes have character and aren't the same cookie cutter design over and over and over again
Palisades is very family oriented. Young families are moving here and love it. ❤️
It makes me laugh when people are hung up on celebrities. They just want to be like everyone else.
@@evelynfrench804 Tons of children playing in the yards?
Thanks so much for this, and I love the music you chose. I love your HIGH END NEIGHBORHOODS and the other extreme LOWEST ENDS. We love the beauty but still we gotta know what's going on.

I'm visiting America next year. I can't wait..really excited!
Tell us what happened! It is two years since you wrote this comment. How was your trip?
@RedheadLondon It was very nice. Thanks for asking.
For all the California haters out there, yes these may not look as ritzy as some in other places, but what you're paying for is the weather, proximity to the ocean and mountains and many other things that don't translate well on real estate listings, traffic aside.
@@scorpioguy94 well how bout a State that has the most National Parks and the largest State Park.........I think LA sucks, but LA isn't all of California

@@espresso1571 It looks very dry if you get away from the coast, with a lot of hills, and baron land.
I worked in most of the wealthiest areas of Belair, Brentwood, Hollywood Hills. What makes the Palisades different is that it's a neighborhood instead of a collection of expensive homes. Also it's proximity to the beach and Malibu doesn't hurt. 🤑
I could spend all day touring this neighborhood. Probably why I enjoy watching your show!!!🤣
I mainly watch your brilliant videos for your personal music contributions , seriously ! Please keep it going.
Haha ok Harry thanks!!
I like neighborhoods that aren't all mansions, just really nice (albeit large) houses - PP, Hancock Park, San Marino parts of old Pasadena, etc..- that for all their wealth convey the impression that real people actually live there.
I agree
It looks so clean and safe....fabulous...
Drive through east Sydney Australia, they have some of the most expensive real estate on earth there
I'll try to find on UA-cam
No way, I wanna see!
It’s nonsense . A handful of very expensive houses in Sydney and Melbourne .. nothing of the magnitude of these parts of socal.
what I enjoyed the most is the amount of trees and green around.
Happy Christmas mate!
You too!!!
Nice and relaxed cruise 🙂
I just got back from Cali and drove up the coast too and being from the east coast it was a eye opener to see how folks live that have extreme wealth
You make it sound like east coasters have never seen extreme wealth when The east coast has extremely wealthy folks, too! So not getting what was so eye opening when all you did was drive by big, expensive homes. Maybe you need to take a drive (or walk) around your own back yard .
Whatta lovely neighborhood and great video, really felt I was driving through this gem, thanks!
Great video but PP is far from the wealthiest neighborhood in Los Angeles. I have seen and worked in them all including Pacific Palisades. Most of the wealthiest neighborhoods you cannot drive into but we can start with the Platinum Triangle which is Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Beverly Hills. I have worked in 30-70 million dollar estates there.
Beverly Park is another uber exclusive community with absolutely ridiculous estates ranging from 20-60 million, home to Rod Stewart, Magic Johnson, Jami Gertz, Eddie Murphy, and Mark Wahlberg to name a few. Malibu is probably the most exclusive beach community in L.A. but there are many.
Beverly Hills is not part of the city of Los Angeles. Just sayin. Cheers.
You are spot on
Great, God bless you America, I'm French-Algerian from France 🙏😇🇺🇸
I grew up there in the 1970s and 80s. Pali class of 81’ Wasn’t as wealthy back then. Most of the original ranch style homes have all been torn down to make way for 2 and 3 story fortresses. Back then it was mostly TV stars and writers that lived above Capri, riviera, and the Huntington. The rest was of it was middle class to the ocean. Times have changed.
Yes indeed Heather they have.
It makes sense, in terms of RE value per sq ft, to max the floorplan. Santa Monica put a moratorium on urban mansions many years ago due to 1200 ft bungalows being " remodeled" into 7000 sq ft barns. Blocked out the neighbor's sunlight.
Yes I noticed that too . Same thing with my parents house they bought a house for 65k in 1974 and now everything around them costs 25 or 30 million dollars but the taxes are prop 13 so they won`t move.
My aunt and uncle bought a house on Sunset in the 50’s. He worked at Douglas Aircraft as a tool and die maker. My aunt babysat for local schoolchildren, my grandmother lived with them. House is still there, 2 bedroom, one bath. It has changed here. Old homes are being torn down. Still a great place to live. Young families are buying homes here. It’s a great place to live. (Young professionals.)
So beautiful video thanks for sharing
“ platinum triangle “ ; Beverly Hills;Bel Air; Holmby Hills. you’re in the wrong neighborhood.😁
I’m sorry but Beverly Hills and that section of sunset has become SO CONGESTED. In Brentwood / Palisades you have 1. much cleaner Air since their near the ocean 2. Less traffic 3. Are close to Malibu and the city

Crazy how some of these houses would be so much cheaper in Texas
Thank you. This was so relaxing. Great music and beautiful day for making a video. Thank you.
That was no doubt a great video! Although! If I could be down there in LA right now! I’d probably go to Staples Center if I could visit there right now! But also! I’d love to go back to Venice Beach. I went there my last visit to LA! And it was great! Not just their Beach! But also their shops & they had great Food Stands too. Nick! Just one question! Do you have any more videos about LA coming up anytime soon? Because if you do! I’d be interested to see what they could be about. And maybe a suggestion too! If you maybe do a ranking of great places to go in & around LA! I think Venice Beach would look good on that list for good activities! Just a thought!
Kevin - Venice is gross. Worth seeing but... and no more LA for a while. Go see China town.
Nick Johnson Venice does have litter, but I think it’s worth the trade off since it’s less crowded. Santa Monica had people every five feet lol
The Venice Boardwalk is a tent city these days.

Sheri!! 😘❤️
It looks like regular homes! Pretty surprised! Drive through Spring Lake NJ, or Deal NJ, or LBI in NJ, I am a New Yorker not a fan of the Hamptons homes and I used to be a nanny and saw all of the richest homes especially in South Hampton. Where people who have private planes and helicopter and horses. Not impressed but the homes in NJ are spectacular! These are pretty ordinary! But thanks for showing us!
There are a ton of places like what you described in CA...this area used to be middle class and were small lots...so many rich folks moved in and upgraded the houses a bit.
Most expensive homes in the US are indeed in CA so are the richest peeps in the country, so is the largest economy hahaha sorry I'm a proud Californian and you were talking about my hood.
been a fan of the channel for a while. I'm from LA and its great to see you visiting and talking about it, while i watch your channel to help me learn about someplace thats less of a hell hole lol
Hi Bennett thanks for writing! There are still lots of areas that are great in the US. They're just shrinking
You should do a drive through of Palos Verdes Estates / Rancho Palos Verdes very beautiful homes next to a gorgeous view of the ocean 🌊
I live in PV and couldn’t agree more.
I almost did - next time!
This was a trip down memory lane . I was a PA in one of those homes for 3 yrs. Back of the house overlooked Topanga Canyon
Happy New Year, Nick. ❤️❤️❤️😘😘
You too hon!
San Marino next to Pasadena has some nice palatial homes.
I like how they’re set back from the street. Home to the Huntington library & Gardens.
Three rules of real estate. 1. Location 2. Location 3. Location.
Thanks for amazing video 👍 good job👍
Thank you for the tour, I found it ordinary though as I thought it looked a very flat suburb until the end when you seemed to go up a hill also the houses seem very close together, gosh I think you must come and see the mansions in suburbs around Sydney Australia, utterly fantastic with hills looking over the Harbour, actually add Melbourne as well, but water views get me everytime.
Beverl hills in los angeles has farbetter views than australian suburbs
Beautiful neighborhood but I hate how close together the homes are. I get that LA has a huge population so it makes sense that the houses are close together but personally I’d rather have more space between me and my neighbors.
Hidden Hills & Calabasas has a lot of Celebrities & Pro Athletes living in that part of LA County.
Kanye West lives in that area?
@@joelsalmela514 I'm not really a fan so I wouldn't know.

If you were to move to California this is the type of place you would want to live in where it still has that neighborhood feel to it.
Nice video and perfect background music ..Thanks
You are wrong. Bel Air and Holmby Hills have substantially more richer residents and more expensive houses. Not even close.
You are clearly living in the 90’s cus that area has become so congested over the years. Literally all the big shots live here and Brentwood now cus less traffic and much cleaner air quality since were right next to the ocean. Bev Hills has become tacky / smoggy
@@dimarcodrahgi5866 Check Zillow.
@@westcoastdude4777 i check MLS everyday but I also grew up in both cities and see the congestion / smog : tourist that have trashed BH

Good idea Albert
Nice Trees, nice road , nice everything 🤣
Oh Christ.. I can never afford a residence in Pacific Palisades.

I grew up in Sherman Oaks... way up in the hills. We could see 2/3 of the San Fernando valley from our balcony, when the Santa Ana winds blew away all the 60's-70's smog. Huge house, on 1 acre...

One of my best friends lives in Pacific Palisades, she's quite rich
Tell her to give me her number so I can get some money bro
My father was a liaison officer between the LA Co. Sheriff (then Gene Biscaluz) and the entertainment industry. I occasionally got to ride around with him all over the SM Mountains as he did his rounds. PP was indeed a deal then, though no more so than Holmby, Bel Air, Brentwood, Coldwater, Stone Canyon, Mulholland, etc. BH -- with its long set-backs in the tract between Santa Monica & Sunset -- was more striking, but also more public. Thanks for the cruise down memory lane even if the hedges are a =lot= bigger now.
PP is a nice place to live, but certainly not the "wealthiest." Many of these homes are quite modest, and crowded together more like the San Fernando Valley. You ain't gonna see Barbra Streisand walking around this neighborhood, for sure. For that, you're talking about the Malibu Colony, or Bel Air, or Trousdale Estates. Most of these are secure, gated communities, while the Palisades are often designed for large working families.
Exactly this doesn’t look as expensive as Beverly Hills, bel air or Malibu
What kind of jobs do these working families have to afford a multimillion dollar home?
@@QrlzM
You got that right! My friend lives here, and he likes the "beachy" kind of vibe here, but the homes are in the MILLIONS. The only celebs in his hood are Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, but I wouldn't call them the typical "Hollywood couple."
@@tiffsaver right and I didn’t mention Hombly Hills which has mapelton drive the billionaires street and the most expensive street on the west cost That neighborhood alone has the playboy mansion, spelling manor, the Hilton state, and others mansions with acres of land with high hedges.

You're freaking PSYCHIC. I was going to mention HH, but forgot. That's where Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion is located, on a huge estate. If I could live anywhere, that's exactly where I'd want to live.

If this is the wealthiest neighborhood in LA then how come BH looks cleaner and more beautiful?
He is wrong. There is Beverly Hills, hollywood hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica.
@@oumchar you’re also wrong Hollywood hills and Santa Monica are not the wealthiest. Beverly Hills, Hombly hills and Bel-air
@@QrlzM i didn't say wealthiest.
The insane cost of a home in LA means that a middle class home in middle America costs millions here.
So this was recorded on my birthday? Btw merry Christmas and happy new year
It was!! Happy birthday!!!
Wow so lush and green. Like a paradise.
When were these houses built? I love the architecture and designs of these houses. Beautiful neighborhood!
It's a mix. The Spanish houses tend to be the oldest and were built in the '20s. The smaller ranch homes are from the post-war era ('50s-'60s). The Cape Cod style houses are pretty new, like within the last 15 years.
Great tour bro..
The roads all look so cracked and patchy 😮. So unbefitting with the neighbourhood's affluent status. Some look even worse than the ones in developing countries like mine in Southeast Asia.
Earth tremors. Rog .
LA has way more roads lol they didn't invest in public mass transit so everyone drives everywhere. They spend billions per year just to maintain all the roads and its still not enough (plus US salaries mean maintenance is more expensive). In the actual richer area like Beverly Hills the roads are nicer, and then right at the border the roads become ugly haha
good job Nick!
Hey Randy!
an ideal home would come with land - 10 or 20 acres with stables, garden, large pool and neighbors far away. your neighbors are practically breathing down your neck here.
Having close neighbors is unfortunately too common in CA
Sounds lovely! If you want that, don't look in CA!
Eh depends on what you're used to. I grew up here my whole life, (my neighborhood is about 10 miles east of this neighborhood) so the idea of having so much space between neighbors actually horrifies me! Whenever I see homes like that all I think about it is, "what if something happens, whose gonna hear, see or help me" lol. Some space is good but too much would give me anxiety.
@@bossytweed6664 True. However I don't need to hear what is going on next door. I am in Santa Clarita. Still too close for my liking.
@@naomiemoore5725 I mean in case of emergency. I don't want people to hear everyday conversations lol but if there's commotion I'd want my neighbors to be close enough to be able to tend to me and vice versa.
