Villa Verde
Villa Verde is a gated community of 33 single family homes on Mela Lane, at the northwest corner of Crest Road and Crenshaw Boulevard in Rancho Palos Verdes. The homes were built in 1979 on county tract 32614, which the city approved in 1978 as a residential planned development. The tract map says the common areas are held by an association of the lot owners and that membership goes with each lot. Mela Lane is a private driveway and fire lane. Sale listings describe a community pool and tennis courts. The state record for Villa Verde Homeowners Association shows a common interest development corporation formed in June 1979.
