HOAs/Rancho Palos Verdes/LA County
Rockinghorse Road HOA
Rockinghorse Road Homeowners' Association is on the private stretch of Rockinghorse Road nearest Palos Verdes Drive East, numbers 9 to 70, between Palos Verdes Drive East and tract 18220. City minutes from 1975 to 1990 use the name upper Rockinghorse for this stretch and its owners, and city records from 1989 to 1997 also name the association the Upper Rockinghorse Road Homes Association and the Rockinghorse Property Owners Association. The map also takes in Toprail Lane, a private lane off this stretch, where a 2026 sale listing shows a monthly association fee. The county roll lists 63 single family homes on the stretch and the lane, built from 1951 to 2023, and a new house at 48 Rockinghorse Road was finished in 2024. Most lots come from a record of survey and county assessor maps rather than a tract map. The association was formed in 1989 as a common interest development corporation, and its state address is on this stretch. Sale listings for 43, 68 and 70 Rockinghorse Road show yearly association dues. In 1997 the Planning Commission approved new fencing at the entrance walls on Palos Verdes Drive East, applied for by the Rockinghorse Property Owners Association and the Rockinghorse Community Association. The stretch and Toprail Lane are in the city's Palos Verdes Drive East equestrian overlay district.
