Upper Abalone Cove
Upper Abalone Cove, listed by the city as Upper Abalone Cove HOA, is named in Rancho Palos Verdes city records and in the 2004 and 2006 member lists of the RPV Council of Homeowners Associations. In a 2020 staff report the city listed it with P.V. Monaco HOA as the associations next to the Three Sisters Reserve of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The city does not say which streets it covers. The city and council lists name it separately from the West Portuguese Bend Community Association, the legal name of the Community of Abalone Cove, which covers the 1949 tract on the ocean side of Palos Verdes Drive South. Across the highway from that tract, between it and the reserve, are 42 single family homes on upper Barkentine Road, Arrowroot Lane and Tarragon Road, built from 1948 to 2011 on county tract 23434 and two parcel maps. The reserve covers 99 acres and was once called the Barkentine property. Its Barkentine and Sunshine trailheads are at the end of Barkentine Road.
