[3] Cornell is a unique, picturesque neighborhood of homes along the scenic Mulholland Highway Corridor and in the rural mountain area near Malibou Lake.

[4] Cornell is notable for its "tall trees" atmosphere among old-growth oak and pine, and for the many peacocks that roam the neighborhoods, and perch on residents' rooftops and balconies.

[5] It can be reached most easily via Kanan Road/Kanan Dume Road, from either Pacific Coast Highway southwest in Malibu, or the Ventura Freeway (101) northeast in Agoura Hills.

[6] A branch of the Los Angeles County Free Library was opened in 1915 "Located in the Post-office and General Store, the stock of books now numbers 356."

The former post office was later turned into The Old Place Restaurant and was frequented by Steve McQueen, Ali MacGraw and Jason Robards in the late 1960s.
