HOAs/Unincorporated Palos Verdes Peninsula/LA County
Westfield
Westfield is an unincorporated neighborhood of 300 single family homes, mostly on Eastvale, Westvale, Sunnyridge and Rainbow Ridge Roads, east of Crenshaw Boulevard and south of Palos Verdes Drive North. The George S. Denbo Company first developed it, and assessor records date most of the houses to 1949 through 1959. Early on, residents formed the Westfield Property Owners Association, which charged voluntary dues to care for the parkland trees, trails and shared equestrian ring. In 1957 they voted to create the Westfield Park Recreation and Parkways District No. 12, a public park district run by a board of five elected residents. The district takes in all 300 homes and pays for upkeep of the equestrian ring on Eastvale Road, a tennis court and the riding and hiking trails.
