Wow, we pounded the pavement in LA for three days - in business meetings, hunting areas and attending wards. Everyone in PHX asks - why would you ever want to live in LA? Well, meet our dream neighhborhood - Via la Selva in Rancho Palos Verdes Estates. No words can describe what we saw in this area. Beach to the west, hillside rustic retail and libraries and all within a throw of LA, but without LA prices. We are smitten. Think Father of the Bride neighborhood.
Our good friends from Keller Williams have this listing. It is PENDING and sold in days. They call it the "Leave it to Beaver Home." When we drove by Taani was thrilled this stuff existed. They all look like this. A bit beyond what we are looking for now, but our next house for sure!
We collapsed on the plane. What a weekend and now we know there are places like this around LA. Between this and Manhattan Beach we're in.
This house is now on our vision board.
We also loved the beach urban area and ward of Manhattan Beach, CA. Just south of LAX beyond El Sagundo. I am told the home from the movie Jerry Macguire is in the area we loved - The Tree Section.
Supposedly this is the home from the movie. Yup Tom Cruise was here.
The Tree Section offers little homes at big prices, but we love it. Blocks from the beach and all the offerings of the vibrant city of Manhattan Beach with access to all things city (no need to get on the interstates). The schools are some of the best in the state and we felt at home in the ward yesterday.
What to do, what to do.
We are up for the adventure!

What??? I'd heard you were moving to Utah, up near Park City!! I love these two areas of LA - John works right there in El Segundo. I would move on over to Manhattan Beach in a heartbeat!!! So happy for you guys :)
my sister LIZ, husband, and new baby live in Santa Ana and LOVE IT! They have Disney passes. I think the weather there is "not normal" cuz its so perfect, but in AZ you are probably use to that (okay, maybe not summer!)
I wish you the best and hope to see you there on the beach someday! Fish out of water?!
Love the house!!!! xox H
What? You guys are moving? Sad day! Fun adventure for you though!! Can't wait to hear some details. I'm sure I can get them from my dad :)
So so so so glad you found some awesome areas. Ken and I adore LA, wish it was us moving out there! I do feel like I won the lottery getting you guys closer, I told Ken tonight we need to get a bigger car so we can swoop in and steal your kids!! I love love love love it! Thank you, and we feel so lucky!
