Apartments for Rent in Malibu CA

Malibu stretches along Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Ventura County, with sun-soaked beaches on one side and Santa Monica Mountains trails on the other. If you’re searching for apartments for rent in Malibu, you’ll find homes along PCH and tucked into the canyons, with drives east to Santa Monica and West LA via PCH and north to Calabasas, Woodland Hills, and Thousand Oaks by taking Malibu Canyon Road to US-101 (about 10 miles from the Civic Center). Weekends are perfect for hitting Zuma, Surfrider, and El Matador, plus the Malibu Pier and Malibu Lagoon State Beach, or hiking at Solstice Canyon and Escondido Falls.

Popular spots for rentals include Point Dume for blufftop trails and Westward Beach; Malibu Colony and nearby Civic Center/Serra Retreat for quick access to Malibu Country Mart, the Lumber Yard, and Malibu Bluffs Park; Malibu Road for oceanfront condos just off PCH; Broad Beach and Trancas near Trancas Country Market and El Matador; Big Rock on the east side for shorter trips to Santa Monica; Latigo Canyon and Corral Canyon for hillside living close to Solstice Canyon and Malibu Seafood; and the Pepperdine area for easy campus access and the Weisman Museum of Art. Dining runs from Nobu Malibu and Malibu Farm on the Pier to Geoffrey’s and Broad Street Oyster Co., with most shopping at Country Mart and Trancas. Look for apartments near Malibu Pier or rentals close to Pacific Coast Highway if you want beach days and easy commutes.
