Did you know…
ucLa as well as cal state dominquez were both almost located in rancho
palos verdes?
A section of 1,000 acres was originally set aside by the planners of the Palos Verdes Project for a University campus. In 1925, a proposal was made for the relocation of the southern branch of the University of California (which later was renamed UCLA), which was then located on Vermont Ave. in Los Angeles (built in 1914 and home to Los Angeles City College since 1929). The proposed site was in the center of the Palos Verdes Peninsula where Peninsula High School, the Peninsula Shopping Center, and the Avenue of the Peninsula Shopping Center is located. The proposal included other inducements including $1,000,000, the construction of a model grammar school and a model high school to be run by the University’s Department of Education, a marine biological station and public aquarium, an art museum, a theatre seating 1,500, a boathouse at Portuguese Bend and a football stadium to seat 90,000. After considering 17 other sites, UCLA held classes on their new Westwood campus in 1929.
In 1963, Great Lakes Property, Inc., had planned to sell 107 acres of land near the intersection of Hawthorne Boulevard and Crest road at the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula as a site for what was originally named South Bay State College and then renamed California State College at Palos Verdes (CSCPV). The State of California had allocated funds to acquire this land and had actually begun classes for 27 freshmen and 14 juniors in a bank building in the Peninsula Center area in September 1965.
After extensive planning and review, acquisition of the site was abandoned for consideration in 1965 due to rising land values and the beginning of eminent domain. Three other sites on the Palos Verdes Peninsula were then considered, including one on the northern slopes of the Peninsula including the Chandler gravel pit and the County sanitary landfill on unincorporated land between Crenshaw and Hawthorne Boulevards, as well as on land overlooking Palos Verdes Drive South in Rancho Palos Verdes adjacent to San Pedro. Other potential sites included Fort MacArthur in San Pedro and Dominquez Hills.
After the Watts riots in South Central Los Angeles in August 1965, however, one of the issues raised by civil rights leaders was the lack of access to colleges in the area. In response, the California legislature decided not to approve the Palos Verdes sites and the campus was located in Carson as the California State University, Dominquez Hills.

Take your pick in Manhattan Beach Sand Section!
The New Year is upon us and 2011 is off to a fast start! I’ve read various prognostications on what the real estate market will do this year, and as usual, the projections are varied. For the overall U.S. economy, the outlook for GDP growth this year is in the 2.5%-4% range — yet we still have a high unemployment number and other factors that will play a role in determining how the economy will fare this year. Locally, I think the mood is ‘cautiously optimistic’ as we gear up for the all important “Spring Listing Season.”
I got the chance to spend an afternoon on one of our recent gorgeous sunny days behind the gates in Rolling Hills and it was simply awesome! Rolling Hills is one of the South bay’s true treasures, with its serene and lush landscape and commanding views atop the Peninsula. This issue of South Bay Digs has a special section on Rolling Hills — a sneak peak into the history and beginnings of this special place. Our Cover Home, offered by Jeannie Penner-More of keller Williams Luxury Homes, is a truly remarkable ranch estate in Rolling Hills and has some of the best views in the area.
(aBove)rollinghillS—theearlyyearS…offeringtherancherolifeStyle!
South Bay Digs has some very exciting things planned for this year and we look forward to our continued integration into the community. Our hyper-local real estate platform continues to build momentum and our multi-channel approach to media is providing unsurpassed real estate exposure for our advertisers and readers alike.
We wish you all the best in 2011.

Behind the Gatesin
Rolling Hills
tHE bEGINNING…It all began when Beverly Hills landscape architect A.E. Hanson was tapped by landowner Frank A. Vanderlip Sr. to develop a community on part of the 1,000 acres of Palos Verdes Peninsula land that Vanderlip had acquired in 1913. In 1932, Hanson began to sell the idea of developing the city’s large lots into single-family vacation dude ranches, which eventually evolved into a development of one-story luxury homes with a minimum lot size of one acre, allowing plenty of room to keep and ride horses.

Architectural Digest’s Editors’ Selection October 2010. A masterpiece in art & living. These worlds meld in this testament to post modern design. An early work by the internationally acclaimed Morphosis design team, Thom Mayne & Michael Rotondi, this blending of stainless steel, concrete & natural elements combine to create a stunning home of epic architectural significance. Fea-tured in the New York Times, this 4000+ square foot home has 4 levels with living room, dining room & kitchen all situated on the top floor to take full advantage of the spectacular ocean/coastline views. The entrance opens to a 3-sto-ry, semi-circular atrium. 2 sets of stairs trace a path through the structure that has an elevator, 3 bedrooms, a wine cellar, 2 fireplaces & a fam-ily room. Unobstructed ocean views from PV to Malibu, home has been called “the tallest home in Hermosa Beach.”
