About Malaga Cove

Malaga Cove is the oldest part of Palos Verdes Estates, at the north end of the peninsula where it meets the South Bay. Its Mediterranean homes from the 1920s and 1930s, many by the architects who shaped the planned community, climb the hillside above the bay around Malaga Cove Plaza and its Neptune fountain.

Housing Stock

Homes range from historic Spanish and Mediterranean estates to mid-century and newer homes, on hillside lots with views over Santa Monica Bay. Original homes with intact detail are prized, and the city's design review shapes every change.

Lifestyle & Amenities

The plaza, the coastal trails and the beach below give Malaga Cove a village feel, and the South Bay beach cities are a few minutes north.

Neighborhoods & Enclaves

Malaga Cove Plaza

The 1920s village center with shops and the Neptune fountain.

Hillside

Homes above the bay with views to the north.

What Sets the Market Apart

  • Historic homes may need restoration; inspect carefully and plan for the city's review.
  • Hillside lots need geology and drainage review.
  • Views depend on elevation and trees.
