Topanga, meaning “a place above,” was named by the Native American Tongva people, the area’s original inhabitants. Perched at the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains, Top O’ Topanga is a stunning 54-acre community of 221 homes, offering breathtaking views of Topanga Canyon to the south and the San Fernando Valley to the north.

This serene community provides a perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Located just nine miles from the Malibu and three miles from the Ventura Freeway, Top O’ Topanga offers residents easy access to urban amenities while maintaining a peaceful retreat in nature.

Originally built in the 1960s, Top O’ Topanga has evolved over the years, maintaining its charm and beauty while embracing modern conveniences. The community features a wide array of amenities, including a swimming pool, spa, gym, game areas, library, picnic grounds, playground, and dog park.

At its heart stands the iconic clubhouse, designed in 1961 by E.V. Mikles. Recognized as one of Los Angeles’ Historically Significant Gems by the Los Angeles Conservancy Modernism Committee, the A-frame structure is an architectural marvel. Its soaring 35-foot glass façade offers unparalleled panoramic views of the San Fernando Valley, blending the postwar era’s leisure-centric design with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. With its floor-to-ceiling glass walls and mid-century design, the clubhouse remains a treasured centerpiece of this unique community.
