Calabasas, Residential city in Los Angeles County, United States
Calabasas is a residential city in Los Angeles County, nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Santa Susana Mountains. The landscape is hilly and dry, with chaparral vegetation and scattered oaks shaping the natural appearance.
The area was founded as a Spanish ranch in the 18th century and remained agricultural for a long time. Only in the 1970s and 1980s did it develop into the residential community it is today, with planned growth.
Daily life here revolves around families and a close community that gathers in parks, at sports events, and in neighborhood centers. You often see riders on public trails, as horsekeeping belongs to the local way of life.
The city sits roughly 45 minutes northwest of downtown Los Angeles, depending on traffic. Many facilities and shops spread along the main roads, so a car is helpful for errands.
A large portion of the community sits within gated enclaves with access controls, which is relatively common in Southern California. This structure shapes the streetscape and makes certain residential areas not freely accessible to visitors.
