Guard-gated, ocean-view townhome living near the top of the Palos Verdes hill | resort amenities, award-winning schools, and a true lock-and-leave lifestyle in Rancho Palos Verdes.

Homes range from about 1,460 to 2,500 square feet with 2–4 bedrooms, direct-access two-car garages, and private patios or balconies, and most enjoy ocean and city-light views. Residents share two pools and a spa, tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court, and a clubhouse with a full kitchen and BBQ areas, all inside the top-rated Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District.

What it's actually like to live in Mira Verde
There's a reason people who move into Mira Verde tend to stay. Tucked along quiet, cul-de-sac "Ridge-" courts near the top of the Peninsula, it offers the ocean-view, top-school lifestyle of Palos Verdes, without the upkeep of a big custom home on a big lot.
This is lock-and-leave living. Behind the 24-hour guard gate, the landscaping, building exteriors, and amenities are all handled, so your weekends are yours. Mornings might mean a swim or a few games of pickleball; evenings, that golden-hour ocean view from the community's hilltop pocket park.
It's also a real community, not just a complex. As a member of the Mira Verde HOA board, I see how it runs from the inside, and I can tell you the things a listing never will: which floor plans live best, which courts catch the best views, and exactly what the dues cover.
