La Costa is a tranquil and exclusive neighborhood situated on the eastern side of Malibu, nestled between Carbon Canyon Road and Las Flores Canyon Road.

As Malibu's first neighborhood, La Costa has a rich history, originally held by May Rindge and sold in 1926 to developer Harold Ferguson. Ferguson designated a significant portion of the beach for a private club, now known as the La Costa Beach Club, catering to land-side homeowners. He also named all the streets on the land-side of Pacific Coast Highway, a naming convention that remains in use today. Most homes in the area still enjoy membership in the La Costa Beach Club, a coveted benefit for residents.

Architecturally diverse, La Costa features an array of homes, including Mission Revival styles, charming beach bungalows, sleek modern designs, and Spanish-inspired residences.

Properties along the beach in La Costa tend to be more affordable than those in nearby Carbon Beach, despite the similar picturesque terrain. You'll also find instances where homeowners have combined multiple lots to create spacious estates or compounds.

Landside homes in La Costa are perched on steep hills, offering breathtaking views of the Santa Monica Bay below. The mature trees and lush vegetation on the hillsides enhance the vibrant scenery, making this neighborhood a true hidden gem in Malibu.
