As I’ve been saying for the past several months, the Westside real estate market is on fire. I’ve been watching home prices soar to pre-crash levels with properties flying off the market in a matter of hours. Of course, there are always winners when it comes to the market, so today, I’m going to tell you about the most expensive neighborhoods in the LA area. Hint, a majority are in Malibu.

#10 Malibu Park

Located in Malibu, Malibu Park comes in 10th place with median home prices of $3.5 million. The asking price of homes for sale in Malibu Park has increased 0.9% since July of 2016, while the number of homes for sale has increased 29.4%.
