Blackhorse
Blackhorse is a neighborhood group in Rancho Palos Verdes named for Blackhorse Road, which leaves Hawthorne Boulevard west of Silver Spur Road. City records call it Blackhorse HOA, Blackhorse Community Association and the Blackhorse Neighborhood, and a 2022 city report says it has no formal HOA. Its entry sign stands on Hawthorne Boulevard near Blackhorse Road, restored with the city's wall project in 2014 and replaced with a city grant in 2022. The map shows the three county tracts entered from that corner, 238 homes built from 1965 to 1967 on Blackhorse Road, Honey Creek Road, Falcon Rock Place, Diamondhead Lane, Hawkhurst Drive, Rockvalley Road, Nokomis Road, Deepbrook Drive and Rockhurst Lane. The group's own list of homes is not published.
