HOAs/Rancho Palos Verdes/LA County
Community Association for Tract 16540
The Community Association for Tract No. 16540 covers the 43 single family homes of county tract 16540 in the gated Portuguese Bend Club, on Maritime Road, Sea Horse Lane and Palos Verdes Drive South. The tract was recorded in 1957, and the association was formed in 1958. The city's 2002 history of the club says Palos Verdes Properties sold 42 lots in the late 1950s to people who had lost homes in the 1956 landslide, and some buyers moved their houses from the slide area. The homes were built from 1949 to 1987, and Maritime Road and Sea Horse Lane are private streets. The beach colony next to the tract has its own association, the Portuguese Bend Club Homeowners Association.
