The Palisades Highlands is situated in the northern part of the Palisades bordering [[Topanga State Park]] and the Upper Santa Ynez Canyon.

==History==

InThe mouth of Santa Ynez Canyon at the [[1921Pacific Ocean]] was once home of Inceville, an early 1900s film studio. Filming ceased at the property around 1922, and the buildings burned to the ground in 1924. In 1921, the land that is now known as thePacific Palisades Highlands was purchased by [[Methodists]]. Over time, roads that were named after Methodist missionaries were developed, and land was settled.

The Highlands development began in the early 1970s. Housing development in the Highlands is now reaching its final stage as residences are being built at the highest point at the northeast border between Pacific Palisades and Topanga State Park. The Highlands are the most recent large-scale development in Pacific Palisades.

===Controversy===

The development was originally protested by area residents and environmentalists because it cut through the heart of Topanga Park.
