I think you’ve really dialed in on the right neighborhood for what you are looking for. The houses on the south side of Paseo Esmerado are probably the best there is since they have big yards, are reasonably private, and have the best views.

If the light you are referring to is 120V underwater pool light, then be careful how the faulty wiring is repaired. You are not allowed by California building code to splice the the electrical ground wire connecting the underwater pool light to the electrical breaker panel. You must have a single continous ground wire. Not sure how a kink would interuppt electrical flow, but if the ground wire is severed or broken you won’t be able to legally add on a piece of wire between the break point and the light. It’s not just splicing with your your standard twist on connectors that’s prohibited, you can’t solder or permanantly crimp the wire either. You would have to run a new continuous ground wire from the light to the breaker panel and that could be extremely difficult. That’s my understanding, confirm with a licensed electrician.

Whatever you decide, I would not recommend the phoenix robellini palms. They require a lot of care and they have nasty thorns. There is a Chilean Wine palm (Jubaea chilensis) that looks nice and is self- cleaning, but you cannot make wine out of the sap without killing it and they are protected in Chile, so where are you going to get it?[/quote]

The Chilean Wine palm can be found at any local palm nursery, but it’s not a good choice for most people. It’s too large (world’s largest palm by mass) and a very slow grower. A small 5 gallon plant from a nursery could take a decade before it has a foot of trunk. It’s a beautiful, drought tolerant, and extremely cold hardy (down to 14F) palm. It loves the So Cal climate except near ocean salt spray. Its fronds will grow out to 30′ in diameter, and it can get up to 80′ high, but that won’t happen until your great grand children are retired. If you have space, it’s a great “plant and forget” tree for posterity.
