Nestled off Trancas Canyon Road, the Malibu West subdivision was primarily developed in the 1960s and 1970s and features a charming collection of 177 homes and 60 condominiums.

The properties in this community typically range from about a quarter acre to over an acre, with thoughtfully designed underground utilities and private roads enhancing the neighborhood's appeal. Many of the original homes were crafted by renowned architects Nisan Matlin and Eugene Dvoretzky, who also designed the Malibu West Beach Club, a favorite retreat for many residents. While some properties have been remodeled or replaced over the years, a significant number retain their classic low-slung ranch or mid-century modern aesthetics. Residents can enjoy delightful ocean or canyon views from select homes, adding to the area’s allure.

Most of the properties enjoy access to Malibu West Beach Club. This private beach club is located between Zuma Beach and Broad Beach with a gated parking lot, lifeguard, showers, banquet room for parties, and a gorgeous sandy beach with picnic table and bbq.

Malibu West not only offers a serene living environment but also fosters a strong sense of community, making it a desirable destination for those seeking the quintessential Malibu lifestyle.
