Here's The Wealthiest Neighborhood In Los Angeles

  • Wow these are some rich people!
    For this video I took the 10 west from downtown Los Angeles and headed toward the coast. The goal was to find the richest people in all of Los Angeles County. The destination would be the elite, exclusive community of Pacific Palisades, tucked away in a hillside right along the Pacific coast. The day was Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 2 pm.
    Pacific Palisades is a Los Angeles neighborhood located here, at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, near where Sunset Blvd and the Pacific Coast Highway intersect. It’s just south of Malibu. It’s truly where the mountains meet the sea.
    Forget Bel Air and Beverly Hills - these are the wealthiest people in all of Los Angeles. Households here bring in about $185k a year annually. There are close to 25,000 people who live in this exclusive windy hillside community, and 88% of the population here is white. Homes in this neighborhood average $3.4 million dollars. Some homes up here are upwards of $45 million.
    Many may not be overly impressive from the road, and some of the biggest homes you can’t see from the road. Those are likely where the world’s most well-known celebrities and other rich and famous Hollywood elites live. This is not a gated community, however. Most of the vehicles parked along the roads in this community were contractors or hired help.
    Pacific Palisades also has plenty of parks, a country club, great schools and hiking trails as well as a cute village within its borders.
    Anyways - here it is - the wealthiest part of Los Angeles, where you’ll find the most expensive homes and the world’s most well known celebrities.
    And of course, leaving West LA means traffic, especially mid to late afternoon. It took two hours to get just to downtown from the coast. And I still had a long way to go to get back to the Inland Empire.

      Not true. Palisades is the RICHEST.
      Malibu can get real “ranchy” real fast, and is essentially unincorporated (though it’s a real city). Brentwood, Bel Air, Bev Hills are all a manufactured, manicured “rich”, but none are beach cities; in LA, the beach is WHERE it’s AT, thus Palisades encapsulates all of the above. Calabasas is trash, along with all of the other crap above/along the 101 (Hidden, Agoura, Westlake Village). These cities are scorching during summers, and freezing in winters. In fact, real estate is more “prime” in South central or Compton in comparison. Again, the beach cities or ones nearby is where the real “prime” real estate is, which is saved by the “marina layer” come summertime (Palisades, Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Ray, All of South Bay). -born/raised Angelino

    There are neighborhoods in Pasadena, La Canada Flintridge, Brentwood, Los Feliz and in the Hollywood Hills which have what amounts to acres of parkland around them. They were mostly built from 1900 until the early 1930s as vacation homes for the wealthy when land was readily available,. They’re usually set way back from the street, have large gated entries and are far more exclusive and exquisitely built by rightfully famous architects. These homes cannot be compared to the ones in Pacific Palisades, which are quite lovely but situated on fairly modest lots. I’ve lived in the Los Angeles area all my life and have studied its more historic architecture for the last twenty years. It has some magnificent estates which have the luxury of privacy and old world elegance and are well worth seeing.

    Let’s just while working in this area for 21 yeas was one the best time in my life. I miss the school children and their parents. I remember when my roof caught fire, and I was out on workers comp. The parents heard about my circumstances. And raised $4500.00 dollars to help me survive until I was able to return to work. Not to mention I was catching the bus 2 hours to work. Anyway. I used that money to myself a used car, .payed some bills, etc. So I’m here today thanking all of my ex-coworkers, friends and family of Pacific Palisades, Ca. Thank You for the best 20 years of my working career. ( Yes, I was very fortunate enough to visit and see inside of some the homes there, and even get to ride in some nice cars). There cultural experiences is to die for. I outdone go on and on about how I love this area but just watch this video and you decide for yourself what my life was like working around such an diverse community.

    They are absolutely gorgeous! I would probably get lost in one of those homes? There
    Really no yard but I'm sure they have everything that they need indoors like a pool theatre and kind of entertainment for them and their families! Apparently they don't need a bigger yard to have to pay someone to maintain it! Extra Cost?
    The population seems to keep growing! It appears to me it's getting more crowded?
    I don't know as for myself I love having privacy a big yard and not have to worry about so many neighbors! It's very beautiful! I thank you for another great video 👍

    Great video but PP is far from the wealthiest neighborhood in Los Angeles. I have seen and worked in them all including Pacific Palisades. Most of the wealthiest neighborhoods you cannot drive into but we can start with the Platinum Triangle which is Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Beverly Hills. I have worked in 30-70 million dollar estates there.
    Beverly Park is another uber exclusive community with absolutely ridiculous estates ranging from 20-60 million, home to Rod Stewart, Magic Johnson, Jami Gertz, Eddie Murphy, and Mark Wahlberg to name a few. Malibu is probably the most exclusive beach community in L.A. but there are many.

    8.52 failed to stop at stop sign, and I believe there was another stop sign before that one! Do you know why the streets are so wide and the houses are so far apart? So the neighbours can't hear the domestic violence! Anyone with a good eye can see there's a lot of money in this area, just look at the hedges, big and better trimmed than my own thatch.😂 So Nick, no cousin today, what went wrong?🤔
    I think you make great videos, Next video Nashville? You watch out for the missiles if it is Nashville.👍
