Calabasas is an affluent city located near the Santa Monica Hills in Los Angeles County. The city is relatively young and was officially incorporated in 1991. Since its establishment, Calabasas has been making a name for itself as a staunch environmental protection advocate. For instance, the city has banned food retail establishments from using styrofoam in their business operations, prohibited grocery stores from using single-use plastic bags at their check-out counters and enacted a health-protecting Second-Hand Smoking ordinance that makes it unlawful to smoke in public areas that are not specifically designated for smoking. The city of Calabasas also recently constructed an eco-friendly, LEEDS-certified civic center that contains its library, amphitheater and public meeting rooms.
Another thing for which Calabasas is known is its large population of celebrity residents. Many actors, singers, athletes, musicians and writers call the city home. Some famous celebrity residents include Rebecca Romijn, Denise Richards and Meat Loaf. While Calabasas is full of exclusive neighborhoods for the rich and famous, “commoners” who venture within its city limits are pleasantly surprised by the number of fun, family-friendly things to do and see there.
Creating First Impressions that Last
Locals and visitors who enjoy outdoor activities often head over to Malibu Creek State Park where they can spend the day hiking, fishing or horseback riding. Those who have wondered what it was like to maintain balance while paddle boarding across gentle surf don’t have to remain in suspense after visiting Aussie Paddle Boards. Aussie Paddle Boards offers stand-up paddle boarding lessons as well as insight about the best local spots to paddle board. The Calabasas Tennis and Swim sports complex, which is owned by the city, offers tennis, aquatics, fitness rooms and even a spa. A family of non-member visitors can pay a modest fee for a weekend pass to the center. After so much excitement, visitors can take the city’s shuttle or trolley over to Calabasas Commons , which is located downtown, for great dining, shopping and entertainment choices.
Besides celebrity watching in the city, many Calabasas visitors are curious about the luxury homes in which the rich and famous live. However, glimpses behind the secluded, gated communities in neighborhoods such as Hidden Hills West, Mountain View Estates and the Oaks at Calabasas is nearly impossible without networking with a luxury real estate broker. These brokers advertise opulent homes that are built in a variety of architectural styles. While there are a few traditional and contemporary homes in those areas, many of the properties are lavishly landscaped Spanish Mission Revivals and Mediterranean-inspired villas that are ornately decorated with wrought iron entry doors and patio gates.
