Welcome to Calabasas
Exclusive and affluent gated community with spectacular mountain views
Calabasas, California is one of the most luxurious suburbs in Los Angeles with several high-profile celebrity residents. A big draw is privacy and gated communities away from the paparazzi and bustle of the city. Located between the southwest portion of the San Fernando Valley and the Santa Monica Mountains, many homes have stunning mountain views. The breathtaking beaches of Malibu are a mere 20-minutes away and downtown Los Angeles is about 45-minutes away. Access to the 101 Freeway takes commuters straight into Burbank, Hollywood, and downtown Los Angeles.
Residents enjoy living on quiet spacious estates with home architectural styles ranging from Spanish, Mediterranean, Mid-Century, Cape Cod, and Tudor, to modern. Excellent weather and proximity to the beaches and mountains allow locals to enjoy outdoor activities any day of the year. In September, the community celebrates films from notable filmmakers and students at the annual Calabasas Film Festival. Come October, locals get into the Halloween spirit by admiring numerous hand-carved jack-o-lanterns at the exciting Nights of the Jack.
