RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Mira Catalina (168)
Mira Catalina includes the regions along and off of Palos Verdes Drive East from just beyond the La Vista Verde gatehouse to Palos Verdes Drive South and to the top of the hill up Crest Road. Some of the highest elevations on the peninsula are located in this area named for its beautiful Catalina Island views. You can find homes with views in almost every direction: City Lights, Harbor, and Catalina Island. The award winning Mira Catalina Elementary School makes this area popular with young families and it’s proximity to Miraleste and San Pedro offers the convenience of the freeway and shopping.
Marymount College makes its home on Palos Verdes Drive East and has been part of the community since the 1960’s. The site presently occupied by the college was once a boarding school for both elementary and high school students run by the Marymount Religious Community. Today, the college offers a two-year Associates Degree program and brings cultural events to the peninsula. It is a valued neighbor.
Custom and tract homes of various architectural styles can be found in the Mira Catalina area. The Del Prado tract is the oldest and was built in the early 1950’s. This tract sits to the south of Palos Verdes Drive East and so many of the homes have Catalina Island views. Two additional tracts, Mira Catalina and Mediterranea, were built above the drive in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. They have long been favorites with families as the homes are large and are close to schools. The newest tract sits at the peak of the hill off Crest Road and was built by S and S Homes. This upscale community is gated and has commanding views of the Los Angeles basin, the harbor, and Catalina. Interspersed among the tracts are streets with custom homes of various size and style. Homes in this area range in price from $700,000 to $2,000,000.
The children of this neighborhood attend Mira Catalina Elementary School, Miraleste Intermediate School and have a choice between the two high schools of the Palos Verdes Unified School District: Palos Verdes High School or Palos Verdes Peninsula High School.
