A peaceful and friendly residential neighborhood in an exclusive atmosphere
Calabasas, Spanish for “squash,” is one of the most popular and exclusive residential areas in Los Angeles County. Home to approximately 23,000 residents, the low population and close-knit community atmosphere make Calabasas a peaceful city for residents who seek privacy while still being close to everything the metropolis of Los Angeles has to offer. Situated approximately 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles, Calabasas is home to many celebrities. However, even those who are not famous still live in luxury here.
Calabasas offers many great amenities to its residents, including amazing parks and gardens among the most gorgeous real estate properties. Community events occur throughout the year, and the landscaped avenues and wide sidewalks make Calabasas a great place to explore on foot. Also, the Las Virgenes Unified School District has an excellent reputation and serves fifteen different schools.

While Calabasas is close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Los Angeles, the city itself offers many exciting things for residents to do.
