PALISADES VILLAGE

In 2018, Rick Caruso’s Palisades Village opened and quickly established itself as “L.A.’s star-studded instant sensation,” according to Food & Wine. Nestled in the Palisades, the bespoke village is comprised of 40+ boutiques, entertainment, and dining experiences.

Caruso took its community-driven approach to a new level with Palisades Village. Between hosting some of the most coveted names in local and international food and fashion, to pristine park grounds, to the iconic Bay Theatre, Palisades Village has become the community’s vibrant epicenter.

HISTORY

In 1911, famous film director, Thomas Ince, founded “Inceville,” a Western film factory which at one point, nearly employed 600 people. 10 years later, Rev. Charles H. Scot and the Southern California Methodist Episcopal Church purchased the land and not too long after, the Pacific Palisades was established as an elaborate religious-intellectual community. To this day, some streets are named after Methodist missionaries.

Many German and Austrian intellectuals and artists sought refuge from Nazi Germany and flocked to the community in the 1930s and 40s. Thomas Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, Emil Ludwig, and Vicki Baum were among them.
