There’s something magnetic about Malibu — the ocean air, the relaxed elegance, and that rare feeling of having space to breathe. But for buyers exploring this exclusive market, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“What can I actually buy in Malibu for $2 million?”
At 4 Malibu Real Estate, we love answering that question — because it shows just how many unique ways there are to call Malibu home.
1. Ocean-View Condos and Villas
For around $2 million, you can find beautifully updated condos along Pacific Coast Highway with panoramic ocean views — perfect for those who want the Malibu experience without the upkeep of a large estate. Many include direct beach access, resort-style amenities, and proximity to local favorites like Malibu Country Mart and Nobu.
Example: A two-bedroom oceanfront condo at Tivoli Cove or Malibu Bay Club often falls within this price range — ideal for weekend getaways or full-time coastal living.
2. Hillside Homes with Big Views
Head inland a few minutes, and your $2 million stretches even further. In neighborhoods like Malibu Park, Corral Canyon, and Latigo Canyon, you can find single-family homes with spacious decks, ocean or canyon views, and plenty of privacy.
These properties offer a true sense of escape — often surrounded by nature and bathed in golden sunset light.
3. Fixers and Future Vision
If you have a creative eye, Malibu still has pockets of opportunity for fixer-uppers under $2 million. These homes allow buyers to personalize their space while building equity in one of California’s most desirable ZIP codes.
As locals, we often help clients identify these hidden gems before they even hit the market.
4. Lifestyle Above All
What $2 million buys in Malibu isn’t just square footage — it’s a lifestyle.
It’s morning walks along the beach, dinner with ocean views, and that feeling of being surrounded by natural beauty while still close to Los Angeles.
For many, it’s not just a home purchase — it’s a shift in how they want to live.
