When you think of high end expensive real estate in Southern California then Malibu is one of the first cities to come to mind. Known as the celebrity haven for the Hollywood types who want to live in a beach community on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The city of Malibu is more diverse than you would think with high end luxury beach front communities mixed in with affordable condos in the Malibu bowl area. What makes Malibu distinctive is the level of privacy that a lot of the homes afford. Many homes are located on large parcels of land that overlook the Pacific Ocean with no sight of neighbors on either side of you. The city itself is broken down into homes that area located on the beach front, properties in the canyon and hills area, and communities located in between these two.

​

Most Malibu residents live within a few hundred yards of Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1), which traverses the city, with some residents living up to a mile away from the beach up narrow canyons, and many more residents of the unincorporated canyon areas identifying Malibu as their hometown. The city is also bounded (more or less) by Topanga Canyon to the East, the Santa Monica Mountains consisting of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and Woodland Hills to the North, the Pacific Ocean to the South, and Ventura County to the West.
