Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills is a private, gated city on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, first developed in 1936 by A.E. Hanson and incorporated in 1957. Its roughly three square miles hold about 690 single family homes, each on a lot of at least one acre, reached by private roads through three gated entrances. Homes follow a single story, ranch style tradition, and the Rolling Hills Community Association oversees architectural review along with the roads, riding rings, tennis courts and about 26 miles of bridle trails. Views from the hills take in the coastline, Catalina Island, downtown Los Angeles and open canyons. About 1,700 people live here, according to the 2020 Census, and the city is served by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District.
