Located just North of the Malibu Pier, The Malibu Country Mart on Cross Creek serves as the community hub of Eastern Malibu. It is directly across from the Malibu Lagoon and the famous Surfrider Beach, home of some of the best waves in Malibu. Whether you need a bite after a morning of surfing or are looking for somewhere to take the kids, the Country Mart is the perfect outdoor retreat!
The Food in Malibu Country Mart
A variety of good food is essential in any mall, and the Country Mart is no exception. In the morning, stop by The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for a cup of joe and grab a local paper from the stand located on the outside of the coffee shop. Later, you can have gourmet yet affordable meal at Marmalade Cafe, a classic sandwich from John’s Garden, or stop by the new Burgerfi for a quick, delicious meal. For your juice fix, Sunlife Organics has it all. Or, if it is five o’clock (somewhere), stop by Cafe Habana for a margarita!
Family Fun
The restaurants and shops surround an expansive outdoor area with plenty of tables, shaded area, and of course, multiple playgrounds for the young ones. This zone is very family friendly and on any given day has a plethora of Malibu locals and visitors alike enjoying the space. The Malibu Library is also across the street, and Webster Elementary is a short drive away.
Shopping: Decisions, Decisions
The Malibu Country Mart caters to the area, with primarily luxury and high profile brands. Still, there are options at all price range and styles! Urban Outfitters and Levis have long been a part of the market. Other newer stores, such as Marine Layer, bring a bit of the Los Angeles city style into the Malibu market. Finally, luxury stores such as John Varvatos, Planet Blue, AllSaints, and many more are conveniently located within walking distance of each other.
Living: Apartments, Mountains, Beachfront
Cleary, this outdoor mall is a slice of heaven. But is there anywhere conveniently close to call home? Luckily, there is plenty of housing nearby, from affordable rentals to beautiful hilltop estates. On Civic Center Way, you’ll find apartments and townhouses to buy or rent with Ocean and Mountain views in all price ranges. This includes four different apartment complexes with different rates and layouts, all just North of Cross Creek and the Malibu Country Mart.
Situated behind Cross Creek in the mountain’s pristine hills is the Serra Retreat area. These expansive homes offer some of Malibu’s most secluded luxury estates, with sweeping views of the coast and Malibu Pier. Prices soar in this exclusive area but are still differentiated, with active listings from $4 to 21 Million (March, 2018).
Finally, we have the oceanfront Malibu Beach homes. Directly across Pacific Coast Highway of the Country Mart is Malibu Colony, jaw-dropping beachfront luxury. This was the most expensive neighborhood in Los Angeles County in 2017 and for good reason. For decades, A-list celebrities and America’s elite have occupied the homes for the privacy they provide in an ideal location. Over the past year, there have been six sales within the colony at an average of almost 12 million.
