Upper El Medio occupies the area north of Sunset Blvd and the El Medio Bluffs, and south of the Palisair HOA. The neighborhood sits in the lower foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, in convenient proximity to Palisades High School and directly west of Temescal Canyon Park. Hiking trails skirt the eastern side of the community, and an access point to the recreation network is located at the terminus of El Medio Ave. The beach and Palisades Village are both minutes away, as are both public and private elementary schools.

 

Upper El Medio plays host to an eclectic mix of homes with varied architectural style and diverse scale. Due to a wide range of lot sizes, residences run the gamut from simple mid century bungalows to modest estates. Lot and home sizes generally increase from east to west, lending a sense of cohesion to the community as larger homes tend to be appropriately scaled to their surroundings. Many properties have swimming pools, and large grassy backyards are common in the eastern half of the neighborhood.
