Why We Live Here
What brought Missy and me to Calabasas was simple: we wanted a safe, clean family community with strong schools where we could raise our daughter. When she started kindergarten, we looked at a few areas and chose Calabasas — and we’ve been here for 16 years.
The things that made it stick aren’t flashy. Saturday mornings at the Calabasas Farmers Market. Being surrounded by hiking trails and the Santa Monica Mountains. Even something as ordinary as walking our daughter to school for all those years.
What reinforces it is working with so many buyers who choose Calabasas for the same reasons we did — then watching them move in, settle in, and love it as much as we have. That’s why we don’t just sell here. It’s home.

How We Help Calabasas Sellers and Buyers
We work almost entirely by referral, and we think that’s because we tell people the truth about their home and their market, even when it isn’t what they hoped to hear.
For sellers, that means pricing from real comparable sales rather than a hopeful number, preparing the home before it goes live, and treating the first weeks on the market as the main event. Our guide to selling a home in Calabasas covers how we approach pricing, preparation and timing.
For buyers, it means starting with how you want to live, then narrowing down the neighborhood, and only then the house. Our guide to buying a home in Calabasas walks through that process step by step. Some of our clients need discretion, and our guide to buying privately in Calabasas and Hidden Hills explains how off-market and quiet sales work.
Calabasas Neighborhoods at a Glance
Calabasas has roughly 36 named residential communities, and about two-thirds of them are gated. The road you take home shapes your commute, your school assignment and your daily errands, so we usually start there. Here are a few of the communities buyers ask us about most. Our complete guide to Calabasas and Hidden Hills neighborhoods covers every one of them.
The Oaks of Calabasas
Around 550 guard-gated homes built between 2001 and 2005, mostly Mediterranean and Tuscan in style, with a clubhouse, pools, courts, parks and a 24-hour guard. The Estates at The Oaks sits behind its own second gate, with larger homes on larger lots. The Oaks is where our record is deepest at the top of the market: 11 sales totaling $37.8 million, including our two highest Calabasas sales.
Calabasas Park Estates
A gated community around Calabasas Lake with mostly 1970s and 1980s ranch and traditional homes, many of them remodeled down to the studs. Condition drives value here more than anywhere else in the city, and lake proximity comes second. It suits buyers who want Las Virgenes schools and a real neighborhood feel without needing a guard.
Westridge
A 267-home guard-gated community built between 1987 and 1991, with many homes enjoying valley, city-light or mountain views. Its real advantage is location: Calabasas Lake, The Commons and the farmers market are within walking distance.
Calabasas Hills
Roughly 490 gated homes, mostly built in the late 1980s, within walking distance of Bay Laurel Elementary and Calabasas Hills Park. It’s one of the more attainable gated addresses in Calabasas and one of the most school-driven. Calabasas Hills Estates next door is a separate, much smaller community.
Mont Calabasas
A 24-hour guard-gated community at one of the highest points in the city, north of the 101, with its first homes built in 2001. The elevation and the views are the reason people buy here.
Mulholland Heights and Saratoga Hills
Two non-gated options. Mulholland Heights is a hillside neighborhood reached from Park Granada or Mulholland Drive, where views vary a lot from one lot to the next. Saratoga Hills sits north of the freeway at Lost Hills, which changes both the commute and the price compared with similar homes south of the 101.
One common mix-up: Hidden Hills is not part of Calabasas. It’s a separate city that shares the 91302 ZIP code, and Hidden Hills West is a Calabasas community outside the Hidden Hills gates. If you’re deciding between the two, read our comparison, Hidden Hills vs. Calabasas.
Calabasas Schools
Nearly all of Calabasas is served by Las Virgenes Unified School District, a compact K-12 district of roughly 10,000 students across about 15 schools. It also serves Hidden Hills, Agoura Hills, Bell Canyon and the Los Angeles County side of Westlake Village.
- Elementary schools in and around Calabasas include Bay Laurel, Chaparral, Lupin Hill and Round Meadow
- Middle schools include A.C. Stelle and A.E. Wright
- Your address assigns you to either Calabasas High School or Agoura High School. You can apply for the other through the district’s School of Choice process, but approval depends on space.
- The school year starts in mid-to-late August, earlier than many families expect
A Calabasas mailing address doesn’t guarantee Las Virgenes schools, so always check the exact property address with the district’s school locator before you write an offer. Our Calabasas and Hidden Hills schools guide explains the boundaries, permits and timing in detail.
What to Know Before You Buy
The purchase price is only part of the cost. Many Calabasas communities carry HOA dues, and some carry Mello-Roos assessments, so compare total monthly costs, not just prices. Our guide to the cost of owning a home in Calabasas and Hidden Hills breaks those costs down by community.
Insurance deserves early attention, too. Much of Calabasas sits within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone on CAL FIRE’s map published in March 2025, and many homes end up insured through the California FAIR Plan, often with a second policy layered on top. We tell every buyer to get an insurance quote before writing an offer.
If you’re interested in land and horses, our guide to horse property in Calabasas and Hidden Hills covers equestrian property in both communities.
Moving to Calabasas From Out of the Area
Many of our buyers are relocating from the Westside, elsewhere in the Valley or out of state. The families who have the smoothest moves usually do three things. They time their search around the August school start. They drive the neighborhoods at 7:30 in the morning and again around 3:00, not just on a quiet weekend. And they get an insurance quote early. Our relocation guide for Calabasas and Hidden Hills covers the rest.
