If you are not from California, you have probably heard of Calabasas primarily in connection with the rich and famous people who live there. Just a short drive from Hollywood, Calabasas is home to celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Miley Cyrus. But what makes Calabasas so special that celebrities can’t help moving there? After all, what does Calabasas have that Los Angeles doesn’t?
It may seem like common sense for celebrities to live in the Hollywood area, unless you know Los Angeles. Hollywood is an urban, bustling area and it comes with all the issues associated with such an environment. Such as crime rates, massive tourism and congestion.

In addition to being close to the beach and mountains, Calabasas offers excellent schools and luxury living.
