The Palos Verdes Peninsula is one of the South Bay’s most exclusive markets — and one of its most specialized for multifamily. Kevin Kawaoka, CCIM, of Bluechip Investment Group brings the underwriting rigor these rare, high-value transactions require.
The Palos Verdes market
Spanning Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, and Rolling Hills, the Peninsula is overwhelmingly single-family and luxury residential, with a limited inventory of apartment and income properties. When multifamily does trade here, value is driven heavily by land, views, and scarcity rather than in-place income alone — which means pricing demands genuine local expertise and careful comparable analysis. If you own one of the Peninsula’s few apartment or income properties, you want a broker who can position that rarity to the right buyers.
Rent regulation in Palos Verdes
The Peninsula cities have no local rent-control ordinance; income properties follow California’s AB 1482 only. (Confirmed per property at listing.)
