The Home Association of 1923 and the city joined to protect the design of the area. The original guidelines state “every possible protection has been established to make sure that the neighborhoods of Palos Verdes can never be spoiled, that every man who builds a fine home or other building here need not fear that a thoughtless or unsympathetic neighbor would put in a kind of building next to him so unattractive or inappropriate as to be ruinous.” The Home Association’s addition of The Art Jury was to review and approve all plans and changes.

The only multiple home in Palos Verdes Estates is located near the commercial districts in Malaga Cove and Lunada Bay. Nearly all of the homes in this area are custom built. The only street lights are along Palos Verdes Blvd. and are still the original 1920s design. There are no traffic lights and few sidewalks, curbs or gutters. Trees are protected by the city and trash containers are hidden from view.
