Palos Verdes has a reputation for being pretty sleepy. I climb it frequently and it's a quiet oasis from the chaos below (with some amazing views.) I've heard that there isn't much up on "the hill" so you have to drive somewhere else to do almost anything (which can take a while depending on traffic.) Redondo Beach, Torrance and Hermosa Beach are not far away from Palos Verdes and have a younger crowd and more things to do. Just something for the OP to keep in mind.
