Calabasas is the perfect reprieve from the unwavering energy of Los Angeles. Located in the Santa Monica Mountains west of San Fernando Valley, this scenic city is just a short drive from LA’s important destinations and famous attractions. Calabasas itself is a top LA attraction for its historic adobe buildings and Spanish-style homes.

Old Town Calabasas is home to the Leonis Adobe Museum, one of LA’s oldest surviving buildings. Another famous attraction here is King Gillette Ranch, the eponymous estate of the razor blade magnate, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Malibu Creek Watershed, explore a Chumash settlement, and marvel at the estate’s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion. Also found in the area is the magnificent Malibu Hindu Temple which also receives visitors from all over the country.

True to its name, Calabasas holds an annual Pumpkin Festival where people can enjoy live music, professional pumpkin carving, pumpkin painting, a pumpkin patch, and more. Other events like the Calabasas Film Festival and the Fine Arts Festival showcase the strong, creative vibe in the community. If fresh produce is what you’re after, there’s a Calabasas Farmers Market every weekend.

There are different types of communities in Calabasas. You’ll find ultra-exclusive enclaves where the Kardashians and other celebrities like Justin Bieber have homes. There are gated and non-gated communities that feature large estates, single-family homes, townhouses, and condos.

The laid-back atmosphere and sense of privacy are just a few of the reasons people choose to live in Calabasas. Residents in general are very active, and there are plenty of parks for biking, running, or walking. Aside from a quick access to the beach, residents also enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities in Lake Calabasas.
