Upper El Medio

Upper El Medio represents one of the Pacific Palisades’ most cherished hillside communities, situated on the north side of Sunset Boulevard as it winds into the Santa Monica Mountains. This neighborhood, with its winding canyon roads and natural oak-studded terrain, has long been valued for its serene, retreat-like atmosphere and architectural diversity. The elevated setting provides residents with a unique sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding wilderness, while maintaining convenient access to the Palisades Village and coastal amenities below. Those who call Upper El Medio home value its tranquil, park-like environment where properties seamlessly blend with the natural landscape and hiking trails extend right from neighborhood streets. The community’s enduring appeal lies in its perfect balance of sophisticated living and authentic California canyon lifestyle, offering a peaceful sanctuary just minutes from both the ocean and the heart of the Palisades.
