Big Rock, Malibu - Accessible | Resilient | Scenic

Living in Big Rock means having both Malibu and Los Angeles at your doorstep. Big Rock is one of Eastern Malibu’s most convenient neighborhoods, perched just above Pacific Coast Highway and only minutes from Topanga State Beach. With quick access to Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, and central Malibu, it offers coastal beauty and city convenience in one.

In 2025, Big Rock was among the Malibu communities impacted by the Palisades fire. While many homes were lost, the neighborhood is actively rebuilding and restoring its unique character. Residents are embracing the opportunity to create contemporary, resilient homes that incorporate fire-hardening measures and sustainable building practices. This process has fostered a strong sense of community, reinforcing Big Rock’s reputation for both strength and connection.

Architecturally, Big Rock is diverse, ranging from sleek contemporary residences to Mediterranean villas. Homes vary in scale, from intimate retreat-style getaways to larger hillside estates. Lower streets provide quick access to the beach and PCH, while upper streets climb into Las Tunas Canyon, offering privacy, expansive views, and hiking trails just steps from home.
