Welcome
to the Portuguese Bend Community Association
|
Once upon a time, the
raucous cry of peacocks or the muted clip clop of horses' hooves
on the road were the only sounds that broke the quiet in Portuguese
Bend.
But times are changing in this community of about 150 homes nestled in the
hills of the California's Palos Verdes Peninsula, up behind Lloyd Wright's famous Wayfarer's Chapel, half
way between Trump
National Golf Club and
the Terranea Resort and
adjacent to a portion of the Palos
Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy. These days, the incessant rumble of heavy equipment breaks the silence, green hills are dotted with frames and flags signaling new homes a-coming, and at least one green hill is now a mass of dirt, holes, hills, fences, signs, bulldozers and other heavy equipment. Residents of Portuguese Bend are governed by the Portuguese Bend Community Association. This web site is designed to provide information about the community as well as the association.
