Rolling Hills is a city on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Rolling Hills has the third highest median house value in the United States.[7][8] Incorporated in 1957, Rolling Hills maintains a rural and equestrian character, with no traffic lights, multi-acre lots with ample space between homes, and wide equestrian paths along streets and property lines.[9]

Rolling Hills is 24 hour guard-gated community with private roads that are only accessible through three entry gates. Homes are single-story 19th century California ranch or Spanish haciendas exemplified by architect Wallace Neff and are required to have white exterior paint.[9] Homeowners are also required to maintain horse property on their lots, or at minimum keep land where stalls could be built.[9] The community was developed by A.E. Hanson, who also developed Hidden Hills.
