Check out this cool article by my friend, journalist Ann Brenoff:

“Franklin “Biff” Levy, a partner with law firm Duane Morris LLP and a novelist, has leased a 3,000-square-foot home in the so-called “Bird Streets” of the Hollywood Hills for $7,000 a month, according to the MLS.” For more, go here: LA Business Journal Chief Dwellings

What to DO and Where to GO

History

Settled by the Chumash, Malibu was named "Humaliwo" or "the surf sounds loudly."

Abundant Spanish presence existed due to the California mission system. Few roads entered the area before 1929, when the state won a court case and built what is now known as the Pacific Coast Highway. May Rindge, a wealthy land owner, was forced to subdivide her property and begin selling and leasing lots. The Rindge house, known as the Adamson House, is now part of Malibu Creek State Park.

In 1926 Rhoda May Rindge created a small ceramic tile factory that produced decorative tiles. Later burned to ground in 1932, it could not recover from the effects of the Great Depression and a steep downturn in Southern California construction projects. Malibu tile is still considered highly collectible and may be seen at the Adamson House and Serra Retreat.

Disasters

Known for its destructive, cyclical fires and mudslides, Malibu maintains a long history of natural disasters. Possibly it's most destructive in terms of acreage was the Dayton fire that consumed 44,000 acres and destroyed 15 homes in Paradise Cove.
