Palos Verdes
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Palos Verdes's 473 homes date to the 1960s and 1970s: two-story, ranch, and tri-level plans on fifth- to third-acre lots between Orchard Road and Caley Avenue. One house on East Maplewood, known locally as the Star House, is attributed to a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The volunteer Palos Verdes Civic Association charges a $75 annual membership and runs an end-of-summer picnic at Palos Verdes Park plus periodic food truck visits. Cherry Creek School District zoning, including Greenwood Elementary and Cherry Creek High School, and an eight-minute run to I-25 round out the address.
