REAL ESTATE • Sold
After poking around in Rustic Canyon and Riviera in the eastern section of Pacific Palisades last week, we’re driving a very short way up the PCH to the western end of the Palisades, to survey the real estate scene there. In these micro-neighborhoods tucked in below the Getty Villa — including Sunset Mesa and Castellamare — sweeping ocean views are the norm, and especially in adjacent Paseo Miramar, deals north of $10M aren’t at all uncommon.
But grand ocean vistas can be found south of that number as well. Here, three properties with sweeping Pacific Ocean views that recently sold above their original asking prices — two after less than a month on the market:
