I really like Calabasas. It was a privilege to grow up here. It is a nice, clean, and safe community. It is close enough to drive to the big cities and the beach without having to deal with the lifestyle. In the suburbs, everything here is calm and at a slower pace, but since Los Angles is right next door it is easy to access. The schools here are very good. The school district, Las Virgenes Unified, is highly ranked and has a lot of donations from the people who live in this community. The shopping centers here are great too! For example, the Commons is a cute place to visit for groceries, for a meal, or to watch a movie. There are also some nearby hiking trails in Malibu Creek State Park. This is a town with lots of parks as well. There is a local farmer's market that occurs every Saturday. I think Calabasas is a great location to raise a family. On the downside, it is very expensive, and some of the people in this town are very entitled due to their wealth and social status.
It's such a beautiful area nestled in the Santa Monica Mountain ranges. It's a half hour drive to LA (without traffic, of course) and a 15 minute drive to the coastal beaches of Malibu. It's riddled with stores of all needs and entertainment is hardly scarce. The schools are fantastic and outdoor activities are highly encouraged because of the safety and low crime rate paired with the exquisite surroundings. However, the city of Calabasas recently revoked all low-income housing. It is very very unfortunate because the only reason I am in this neighborhood was by my single mom's approved application into the once low-income apartment complex. I wish the city of Calabasas provided some substantial alternative instead of completely erasing housing options for those of lower income. It appears only the elite will be able to afford such a serene environment and the rest will be squeezed into the unsafe metropolis.
First of all, to the people complaining, if you don't like it here leave. Plenty of other cities you can live in. I love it here that's why I'm raising my son here. Super safe, the best public schools for miles, clean and classy. It's not diversified, but so what. Nothing wrong w/ white people and FYI, I'm not white. The people here live here bc they worked hard and can afford or their fam prob has money. I feel blessed to live here and know I can walk my dogs late at night safely and my BMW will not get broken into in front of my home. TY Calabasas!
