The Enclave Wars: Which Malibu Neighborhood Fits Your Lifestyle?

Experience the ultimate blend of natural beauty, luxury living, and oceanfront serenity in one of California's most coveted destinations.

The Enclave Wars

Malibu isn't one market; it's a collection of micro-nations. Choosing between The Colony and Point Dume isn't about price—it's about lifestyle. Here is your definitive guide to the "Big 3" luxury enclaves.

 

1. Carbon Beach

"Billionaire's Beach"

The deepest pockets in Los Angeles own here. Why? Because it offers the closest proximity to the city (easy commute) while delivering dry sand beachfront. It is prestigious, convenient, and commands the highest price-per-square-foot in Malibu.

2. Point Dume

"The Suburban Sanctuary"

If Carbon Beach is for the executive, Point Dume is for the family. Large, acre-plus lots, private beach keys to Little Dume, and a walkable elementary school make this the most "community-focused" enclave.

3. Malibu Colony

"The Original"

The first gated community in Malibu. It offers extreme walkability to the Country Mart and Nobu. Homes here are tighter together, creating a "village" atmosphere that appeals to the social elite.
