Malibu is like resort living.  Everyday you take in the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful Palm trees.   Whether you live on the ocean or the land side of PCH the views of the Catalina and Palos Verdes are breathtaking.  Malibu is located midway between downtown LA and Santa Barbara so it is a great location for young professionals, students at Pepperdine University or retirees who just want to live in a laid back environment with shopping and dining at Cross Creek or the Malibu Mart.  The local motto is no growth so Malibu remains a small tight knit community with great schools.  You can find condominiums, townhouses, beach cottages, small horse properties and luxurious estates.  Celebrities and denizens of the entertainment industry have lived here quietly enjoying the good life as part of the local community.
