“alphabet” streets, in and around the Village have smaller lots but are within
walking distance to the commercial center of town. Palisades Village, developed by
Rick Caruso is a collection of unique shops and restaurants that serve the
community and maintain the intimate ambiance of a gathering place for the
residents.

areas.

Palisades
Highlands is located at the edge of Sunset Blvd. just before it meets PCH, at
Gladstones. It is a sub community that was developed in phases: townhomes,
condominiums and exclusive homes on terraced lots ascending the mountains. This
secluded community in upper Santa Ynez Canyon has its own recreation and
shopping center. The Highlands is blessed with beautiful views of the parklands
and ocean and is close to the hiking trails along the canyon.
