Local Lifestyle

For professionals who work on Los Angeles’ irresistible and always happening Westside, Riviera is a dream. The area is virtually minutes away from Santa Monica, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades proper. The high-ranking schools near Riviera render the beautiful community a top choice for families with children. Residents are often found perusing the stalls at the always-lively Pacific Palisades Sundays’ farmers’ market, hiking in the Santa Monica mountains, and playing on the stretch of coastline that fronts it all.

Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

The greater Los Angeles is internationally acclaimed as one of the most exhilarating foodie destinations on the planet, and Pacific Palisades’ array of excellent eateries emphasizes this concept. 

For special occasions, Riviera residents might take a short trip to celebrate at Rustic Canyon, an opulent Santa Monica hotspot that pays homage to California’s freshest bounty. Ranked one of the 100 best restaurants in California by the Los Angeles Times, Rustic Canyon elevates farm-to-table fare with dishes ranging from beets and berries with mint, avocado, and pistachios to Mount Lassen trout and Dungeness crab with creamed cauliflower bisque. Locals can appreciate a taste of London at The Draycott, where British-American fare, like Boujis fries with truffle oil and black peppercorn and brown sugar pudding, is served in a verdant, lovely setting.

Superb shopping abounds near Riviera at Palisades Village, a luxe and luminous outdoor plaza that features a slew of stand-out boutiques and reputable brands, including Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Veronica Beard, and Paige. Rodeo Drive and its collection of globally renowned stores are only 20 miles away. Versace, Valentino, Balenciaga, Armani, Eres, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, the world’s most exclusive shopping district lives up to its status as a fashionista’s paradise.

Things to Do

Between its bevy of glorious beaches nearby and a host of acclaimed hiking trails, residents of Riviera are never at a loss for pleasurable activities. Sunday mornings are best spent at the Pacific Palisades Farmers’ Market, where you can purchase organic produce, fresh-cut blooms, stunning orchids, unique spices, and handcrafted baked goods. This beloved community event also boasts a pet rescue center, just in case you find yourself in the mood to add another member to your family. 

To soak up more of the region’s extraordinary coastal views, head to the remarkable Paseo Miramar trail, where you can bask in the sunshine and score a great workout before relishing one of California’s spectacular sunsets at The Point at the Bluffs.
