Malibu Colony
One of the first areas with private homes after May Rindge began leasing lots in the 1920s to Hollywood stars including Anna Q.
Point Dume
Named in 1793 by British navigator George Vancouver for Father Francisco Dumetz (the spelling later drifted to 'Dume'); it stayed a sparsely developed equestrian area into the 1960s before ranch-style homes and, later, celebrity estates such as Johnny Carson's 1984 purchase built it into a gated bluff-top community.
Broad Beach
A historically wide sand beach that has suffered chronic erosion for decades; homeowners formed the Broad Beach Geologic Hazard Abatement District in 2011 to fund and permit ongoing revetment and sand-nourishment work to hold the shoreline.

The Ghost Listing Report
Portals can’t show a home’s failed past listings. Every prior listing attempt, price cut, withdrawal, expiration and relist — run it free on any Malibu address.

The same eye, as an actual inspection
Reading a listing from the desk is not an inspection. When you are under contract, the house still has to be walked — roof to slab, by an inspector.

What happens when you sell or buy a Malibu home on a septic system?
Malibu treats the sale of a septic home as a permit event. What the city requires, the Civic Center prohibition, and where a Coastal Development Permit fits.
