Marquez Knolls is the largest neighborhood in Pacific Palisades, spanning a vast and varied landscape north of Sunset Boulevard between Bienvenida Avenue and Santa Ynez Canyon. Known for its tranquil setting and impressive range of home styles, Marquez Knolls offers something for everyone, from cozy family homes to sprawling estates with breathtaking views.

The community features a remarkable elevation change of nearly 1,000 feet, from the more urbanized Lower Marquez near Sunset Boulevard to the scenic ridgelines bordering the Palisades Highlands. Views vary significantly based on location, with the most dramatic panoramas of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Mountains, and city lights found in the upper reaches of the neighborhood.

In Lower Marquez, homes are generally situated on smaller lots, typically up to a quarter acre, and are ideal for buyers seeking manageable outdoor spaces. As the terrain rises, Upper Marquez boasts larger properties with more expansive lots, many of which include swimming pools and other luxury amenities. Estates at the crest of the community, with commanding views and premium features, can achieve eight-figure price points, rivaling some of the most exclusive properties in Pacific Palisades.

The Marquez Knolls Property Association (MKPA) serves as the voice of the community. While membership is voluntary, it is open to all residents and businesses within the area. The association plays an active role in fostering neighborhood connectivity, preserving community character, and advocating for residents’ interests.
