"Eastview - The affordable Alternative"

This neighborhood is directly west of San Pedro at the eastern base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and is generally bordered on the east by Western Avenue, except for a small area which extends east of Western Avenue along Toscanini Drive. Many of the homes in this area are only accessible from Western Avenue. Shopping options are limited to those located in San Pedro.

Most of the homes in this area have an option of students either attending the Palos Verdes School District or the Los Angeles Unified School District Those students who live in the Eastview area have a one-time election to enroll in either the Palos Verdes School District ( attending Dapplygray Elementary and Miraleste Intermediate ) , or the Los Angeles Unified School District ( Dodson Middle School and Crestwood Elementary School. ). Those living in the Eastview area do not pay the bonded indebtedness on their property tax bills ( 2009/2010 of $21.64 per $100,000 valuation ) for the Palos Verdes School District, but instead are billed for the Los Angeles Unified School District bonded indebtedness on their property tax bills (2009/2010 of $151 per $100,000 valuation ). Eastview residents vote only on School Board elections for Los Angeles Unified Schools regardless of whether they have elected to attend the Palos Verdes School District.

The primary advantage of this area is that homes start in the $500,000 range and provide an option to attend the very highly rated Palos Verdes School district. Homes tend to be older, smaller, and in greater need of renovation.
