Suburban, scenic, and friendly community 

Just west of Pepperdine University and north of Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu Country Estates is a peaceful enclave offering a classic suburban lifestyle in the heart of Malibu. This close-knit community features 107 homes, cul-de-sacs, bike- and pedestrian-friendly streets, and underground utilities, creating a safe and serene environment for families.

Malibu Country Estates is defined by its tranquility and practicality. Many homes sit on spacious lots with swimming pools and enjoy stunning ocean or canyon views. With only one entrance and exit, there is no through traffic, making the neighborhood ideal for children to play, ride bikes, or jog safely. Residents benefit from access to Pepperdine University’s gym, tennis courts, and Olympic swimming facilities, adding to the area’s family-oriented appeal.

Originally developed by the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) in the 1970s, Malibu Country Estates was designed to provide a suburban-style living experience in a region better known for its rural and coastal properties. The neighborhood’s paved streets, sidewalks, and modern infrastructure were a significant departure from Malibu’s traditional landscape at the time, attracting families seeking a peaceful, secure place to call home.
