Alicia Dry Cohen
I am a proud Palisadian mom, and this community has become the heart of my family. We moved into our home on Livorno Drive in May 2020, just 12 weeks pregnant with my son Leo, and from that moment on, we knew we had found our forever home. Our family grew even more when my daughter Ava was born in June 2023, and together, we’ve created a life full of love, friendship, and joy in the Palisades. I feel incredibly lucky to have made such amazing friends here—friends who’ve supported me, laughed with me, and helped build a community that feels like family. From preschool at Kehillat Israel to Mommy & Me classes in friends’ homes, to hosting neighborhood events, every part of this journey has been a gift. Planning our Halloween Block Party each year, which was proudly featured in the Palisadian Post, became one of my proudest accomplishments. As a local real estate agent at Compass, I loved helping people find their homes here in this special place. The Palisades was my idyllic paradise, a small town tucked between the mountains and the sea, yet so close to everything LA offers. But after everything we've been through, I am more committed than ever to coming back, rebuilding, and making this community stronger, kinder, and more beautiful than ever before. I know we’ll rise from this, together.
