Rolling Hills
Rolling Hills is a fully gated equestrian city of roughly 1,900 residents on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, framed by Rolling Hills Estates to the north and Rancho Palos Verdes to the south. The city operates as a fully gated municipality with staffed entrance gates at every access point — one of the few cities in California organized around gated access at the municipal level rather than the subdivision level. Housing is dominated by substantial ranch-style estate homes on multi-acre lots amid oak-studded rolling terrain, with a substantial trail network that connects to neighboring peninsula cities.
