The Highlands was largely undamaged on January 7 and many residents never left or are back living there. Monica explains why the quiet is one of its best features for people who want to live in the Palisades rather than just talk about it.
Nobody's talking about the Highlands, and I'm going to tell you why. Because that might be one of the best things about it. So, the Highlands has been a really interesting place since the fires because, you know, while parts of it were affected, it was largely undamaged by the fires that happened on January 7th.
And a lot of people are up here living again. A lot of people actually didn't even leave. I have friends who didn't even evacuate when the fires were happening, which is a very interesting story, but it's not really being talked about.
If you're someone who actually loves to live somewhere in Pacific Palisades and not just post about it, DM me because the Highlands is probably for you.

Monica visits the Highlands with team member Erin Kyle, who lives there. They cover the neighborhood's mix of townhomes, condos, gated pockets and large single-family homes, the trails and courts, the microclimate that stays sunny while the beach is fogged in, and the Spruzzo, Starbucks and Vons at the base of the hill.
So I'm here in the Highlands in Pacific Palisades, which was relatively untouched during the fires. And Erin Kyle, who just joined my team, actually lives up in the Highlands. So I thought it would be a great time to actually have her kind of give a little bit of her insight on what it's been like to live here since the fires.
You know, the Highlands is a really special community. People here look out for each other. And you know, since the fire, it's a place that people really want to come back to.
It's still beautiful. You have the mountains, you have the ocean views, you have these great little pockets where you have swimming pools and parks and you know, the kids all know each other. And it's a really special place and it feels still quiet and beautiful and what made the Palisades the Palisades.
And it's been great being back up here. Yeah, I mean, I work up here right now and it's the most beautiful warm sunny day. And that's one of the things that's such an interesting thing about the Highlands is that you can have a June gloom socked in foggy day down at the beach where you're thinking, oh, it's going to be beautiful.
And up in the Highlands, it's sunny and gorgeous. And oh, comes a full day. Happens all the time.
You change it because of the weather and most of the time it's sunny and beautiful like this and you have tons of nature and beautiful trails and you can really have a spectacular day up here. Yeah, the Highlands is definitely a place that if you are an outdoors enthusiast, if you like hiking, if you like mountain biking, this is the place that you want to live. There's also areas with some tennis courts and pickleball courts, I believe.
Right. you know, there's lots of different pockets up here that are really great, especially for families. It's really wonderful.
Yeah, and it's definitely got something for everyone. You know, there's the town homes, the condos. There's actually a retirement community that was built not too many years ago.
And then there's obviously some beautiful large single family homes. There's some gated little pockets and HOAs within the Highlands area that, you know, really brings a lot to everyone. still really close.
You've got grocery stores, you've got a Starbucks, you've got two amazing restaurants just down the hill, Spruzzo and Moku. You have a little shop for all of your, you know, bread and milk and items. It's really It's a special place to live.
Great. Well, I appreciate your insight, Erin. And that's why I brought you on my team.

Above the heart of the Palisades, the Highlands has hiking, Lake Shrine, community centers and wide streets, and people have lived there since right after the fires. Monica's point: this neighborhood does not need a comeback story, it needs attention.
While everyone talks about what the Palisades lost, there's a neighborhood that's been living, thriving, and proving that this community is far more resilient than people give it credit for. The Highlands sits above the heart of the Palisades. Some of the best hiking in LA, Lake Shrine, one of the most beautiful, peaceful places on the Westside, community centers, wide streets, real neighbors, and at the base, life is back.
Spruzzo is open, Starbucks is pouring, and Vons is right down the street. People have been living here since right after the fires. This isn't a neighborhood waiting to come back, it never left.
The Highlands doesn't need a comeback story. It just needs people to pay attention. I'm Monica Antola, and this is the Palisades neighborhood that you're going to wish you knew about sooner.

Filmed as the Village reopened in summer 2026: Angelini Ristorante returning, Nancy Silverton's Italian steakhouse Spacca Tutto opening in August, and parking already hard to find. Monica on what the return of the Village means for the community's vibrancy.
Palisades Village is coming back to life this summer and there are some super exciting things happening. We have Angelini Ristorante that is coming back, one of my favorite places to go hang out on the patio and have a salad. Also, we have a brand new restaurant opened by Nancy Silverton, which is going to be an Italian steakhouse.
I'm not sure what exactly that means, but I'm definitely here for it. And it's called Spacca Tutto and that will be opening in August. And you know, there's just so much going on right now.
There's cars everywhere. It's impossible to find parking today. And I'm so excited to see the vibrancy of our community that's just continuing to evolve and you know, I came out of the Palisades Garden Cafe and saw a friend of mine from high school.
And that's just like I said, always what this community is about. So, I want to know, what's the first place you're going to hit up the day the village opens? Shoot me a DM or leave me a comment below.
I'm really interested to hear.
Compare Pacific Palisades properties by budget, verified property type, source-defined status, documented condition or rebuild exposure, insurance questions, and objective location priorities. Every serious candidate should then be reviewed for the exact parcel, records, disclosures, permits, association documents, hazards, insurance options, and physical condition that apply to it.
Confirm the exact address, parcel number, listing identifier, property type, ownership form, and source-defined status.
Review purchase terms and property-specific financing, taxes, insurance, association obligations, utilities, maintenance, inspections, and planned work.
Distinguish disclosed condition from assumptions based on age, appearance, imagery, neighborhood context, or price.
Determine whether a candidate is an existing residence, damaged structure, cleared parcel, or land opportunity only from exact records and source-defined data.
Compare parcel setting, documented access, property type, route, physical features, and proximity to services the buyer identifies.
List the permit, title, survey, association, insurance, hazard, condition, financing, and professional-review questions that remain open.
A listing label or marketing description does not establish condition, permit status, debris closure, buildability, insurance, tax treatment, association rights, hazard status, future value, or transaction outcome.
This page remains the commercial owner for Pacific Palisades homes-for-sale discovery. Use Pacific Palisades lots for sale for land and rebuild-opportunity inventory. Do not treat a land card as a residence or a residence as a rebuild opportunity unless the authorized source, classification rules, and visible labels make that distinction clear.
The supporting fire-damaged lot diligence guide can help organize questions, but it is not an official record and should not decide how a property is classified.
Use the City of Los Angeles rebuilding guidance as the official starting route. Confirm the exact parcel, governing rules, property records, permits, inspections, debris records, utilities, access, site conditions, and any required professional review before relying on a rebuild representation.
The Los Angeles County debris-removal recovery page is a route to current program and parcel information. Participation in a program or a general recovery update does not prove that a named property is cleared, closed, ready for construction, or eligible for a particular approval.
Insurance availability, coverage, price, conditions, mitigation requirements, and FAIR Plan or difference-in-conditions fit depend on the carrier, applicant, property, condition, date, and current underwriting.
Start with the California Department of Insurance residential insurance guidance, obtain current property-specific quotes, and confirm the policy structure before relying on an ownership budget.
The Antola Coastal Group guide to California home-insurance considerations is a supporting planning route, not a carrier commitment or official eligibility decision.
For each property, confirm the parcel and deed, title and survey, zoning and permits, disclosed condition, debris or recovery records when relevant, utilities and access, association documents, inspections, environmental or site questions, financing, and insurance.
Use the Los Angeles County Assessor disaster-relief guidance for the official program route and the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for address-specific flood-map research. Neither route establishes a transaction-specific tax result, physical condition, insurance decision, title conclusion, survey result, or professional opinion.
Plan property-specific expenses with the Antola Coastal Group guide to monthly costs of homeownership, then replace general categories with current quotes, documents, and exact-address evidence.
Describe location choices through concrete, buyer-selected facts. Useful comparisons can include parcel setting, street and access configuration, documented views, property type, lot characteristics, route options, distance to a named destination, association obligations, and physical features supported for the exact property.
Do not use demographics, protected-class proxies, school-quality labels, safety claims, celebrity references, or subjective community rankings to steer a buyer. School assignments, travel conditions, businesses, services, amenities, and reopening status can change and should be confirmed from current authoritative sources when they matter to a decision.
No. Confirm the source-defined status, exact property identity, and current availability for each candidate before relying on a result.
Use source-defined property type and exact property records to distinguish an existing residence, damaged structure, cleared parcel, or land opportunity. The separate lots page owns land inventory.
No. Verify the exact parcel, current records, debris status, permits, inspections, governing rules, site conditions, and required professional review.
No. Insurance requires current property-specific carrier review. Tax and disaster-relief questions require exact parcel, program, date, and transaction facts.
Send the address or property URL, budget, timing, financing context, property type, condition or rebuild questions, insurance concerns, location priorities, and association or permit questions.
Send the exact address or property URL, target property type, budget, timing, financing context, condition or rebuild questions, insurance concerns, location priorities, and any association or permit questions.
