Seaview & Ocean Trails

Yes, if you want Catalina views and a public coast and don't mind reading landslide paperwork. Seaview has late-1950s and 1960s homes on streets aimed at the island, the free trails and park of the Trump National coast next door, and the east side's practical advantages: closer errands on Western Avenue and the Peninsula's best freeway access. What you accept in return is geology. Western Seaview lost power and gas during the 2024 acceleration of the Portuguese Bend slide, and seven Seaview lots were added to the city's landslide area in 2025, which is why the area prices below the western Peninsula.

It slid toward the ocean on June 2, 1999, just before the course was due to open. An ancient landslide under the hole reactivated, and most of the 18th hole moved about 50 feet seaward; a leaking county sewer line is believed to have helped trigger it. The course went bankrupt, the Trump Organization bought it on November 26, 2002 for $27 million, and it was rebuilt as Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles.

Yes. The course's ocean edge is part of the city's Ocean Trails Reserve: bluff-top trails loop past the fairways, Founders Park sits at the eastern corner on La Rotonda Drive, and switchback paths lead down to the rocky beach. It's free, and none of it requires playing golf or going into the clubhouse.

Some streets have, most haven't, and the paperwork tells you which. The area sits at the eastern edge of the greater Portuguese Bend landslide complex. In September 2024 Edison cut power to 105 of Seaview's roughly 270 homes and SoCalGas cut gas to 28 in western Seaview; both have since been restored, and SoCalGas reported no measurable movement in Seaview after February 2025. In 2025 the city added seven Seaview lots to its landslide area, and the western streets also border the Klondike Canyon abatement district. Locate the lot on the city's maps and read the disclosure packet before anything else.

It's the part of the sale paperwork that says whether a home sits in a mapped landslide or hazard area and what the seller knows about movement. California sales in and around these zones include the standard hazard disclosures, and local practice adds addenda on movement history, foundation or leveling work, utility history, and district assessments. In Seaview and the Ocean Trails area these packets are standard and often thick. Read them first, because that's where the real price of a specific address shows up.

It's a city nature reserve on an old quarry above Ladera Linda, one of the 11 reserves in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. Its canyon bowl exposes some of the Peninsula's most dramatic walkable geology, and its ridgelines look over the whole south coast. Trailheads sit at the top of Forrestal Drive, a few minutes from Seaview, but some Forrestal trails have been closed since 2024 because of land movement, so check the city's trail page first.

Mostly single-family homes from the late 1950s and 1960s, plus newer view homes near the golf course and a condo complex on La Rotonda Drive. Seaview's houses range from lovingly original to fully opened-up remodels. Ladera Linda, on the hillside above, adds larger view homes with trail access to Forrestal and the city park at its base. Course-edge and bluff-row homes price case by case on their geology files.

Western Avenue, along the San Pedro border. Supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and everyday services there are closer to Seaview than comparable retail is to the western Peninsula, and the strip has small local spots too, like Granny's Yogurt.

They're Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified schools, and that district is consistently among California's best. The district sets assignments by address and redraws boundaries from time to time, so ask before you buy.

Generally yes, because of the landslide paperwork, plainer retail instead of resort neighbors, and how the market sees south-shore geology. In exchange you get Catalina-view streets, a public coast, the preserve behind you, and the Peninsula's best freeway access. As of September 2026, older Seaview-tract houses were listed at about $1.7 million to $2.8 million.

Yes. The disclosure packet here can run long, so I read the landslide addenda with you in Russian, including whether the house lost power or gas in 2024. If you're buying from out of the country, we can do the tour on video and the closing remotely.
