We are blessed here in Malibu and Westside LA to have a ton of high end neighborhoods and a great concentration of desirable addresses.
However there is nothing like the area between Beverly Hills and Malibu according to the LA Times - This Westside area boasts one of the world’s great concentrations of premier residential estates. The highest-price home transaction ever in California took place in this territory: the 2000 sale of an 8-acre Bellagio Road estate in Bel-Air by Dole Food Co.’s billionaire owner, David Murdock, to financial executive Gary Winnick in a $95-million deal.
However what are other streets which make the list of “Desirable addresses?”
Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu: The cluster of homes on this highway range from the desirable through to the megarich “billionaires beach” – Carbon Beach. This line of oceanfront properties hardly ever has homes come up for sale so it is insulated from the normal market forces.
La Mesa Drive, Santa Monica. This street is also known for its homes of similar value and size — some less than 5,000 square feet. Large trees, with roots that stretch a good foot or more above ground, help provide privacy.
Maple Drive, Beverly Hills. There are the flats of Beverly Hills, an area with relatively small lots and commercial buildings. This isn’t it. Maple north of Santa Monica Boulevard boasts the largest lots among Beverly Hills’ flatland areas, and the homes have a continuity of design and landscaping. The street is quiet and traffic is light because a center divider prevents left turns onto Sunset.
Napoli Drive, Pacific Palisades. Properties on the south side of Napoli are prized for their views overlooking the Riviera Country Club.
Amalfi Drive, Pacific Palisades. North Amalfi has canyon views to Will Rogers State Historic Park, while some homes on the south end have ocean and Riviera views. Over the years it has been popular with such entertainers as actor Cary Grant, comedian Jerry Lewis and singer Bobby Vinton.
Malibu Road, Malibu. This coastal street is shielded from busy PCH to the east, offering ocean views and a relatively quiet neighborhood.
Malibu Colony Drive, Malibu. Gated with 24-hour security and views of the Pacific make the street desirable.
So there you have it! A list of the real estate glitterati of Malibu and Westside!
