About Highcliff

Highcliff is one of The Palisades' most intimate neighborhood settings — a smaller, quieter community within the broader master plan that offers full access to all Palisades amenities at one of the community's most accessible price points. Homes range from 2,400 to 3,500 square feet with 2–5 bedrooms and 3.5–4 bathrooms.

For buyers who want to be in The Palisades without stretching into the $800K+ tier, Highcliff represents exceptional value — real Palisades living (Residents Club, golf access, top-rated schools) at a starting price in the mid-$400s.
