    Calabasas Gated Communities & Neighborhoods

    The City of Calabasas itself isn't gated, but it contains a dozen-plus distinct guard-gated, keypad-gated, and non-gated communities — each with its own price band, HOA structure, and character. Live MLS aggregates shown where the community mapping is confirmed accurate; otherwise contact Seda for current availability.

    The Oaks of Calabasas

    Guard-gatedHOA

    The Oaks is the high-end estate enclave in Calabasas, with its guard-gated entrance and strong name recognition. It draws families and move-up buyers looking for larger custom and semi-custom homes, many with Mediterranean lines, set on lots that give real breathing room along the estate streets. The 3.5-acre community park with pool, tennis courts, clubhouse and trails adds a self-contained feel without leaving the neighborhood. One thing to know is that the HOA supports all those shared spaces and the 24-hour guard, so dues run higher — and good properties here tend to draw steady interest when they hit the market because the location near The Commons and Las Virgenes schools is hard to match.

    Calabasas Park Estates

    Non-gatedHOA

    Calabasas Park Estates is the non-gated mix of condos and single-family homes around the Park-named streets and near Calabasas Park itself. It attracts a broader range of buyers — families who want space, professionals who like the convenience, and some empty-nesters downsizing within the area. Homes range from more manageable sizes up to larger plans, with a feel that's established but not as formal as the big gated enclaves. The honest note is that while there's security patrol in parts, it's not fully gated like some neighbors, which keeps entry points more accessible and HOA costs lower for what you get in location and variety.

    Mountain View Estates

    Guard-gatedHOA

    Mountain View Estates is a large guard-gated community off Mureau Road and Mountain View Drive near the 101. It attracts affluent buyers and families who want substantial homes — many in the 4,000 to 10,000 square foot range — with mountain views and a private, well-kept setting. Homes started going in around 1990, and the 24-hour guard plus maintained landscaping give it a polished, peaceful atmosphere. The honest note is that while it's one of the bigger gated options, the location keeps you close to the freeway and daily needs, and the scale means more homes come on the market than in the tiniest enclaves.

    Contact Seda for current Mountain View Estates availability.

    Calabasas Hills

    Guard-gatedHOA

    Calabasas Hills is a guard-gated neighborhood of about 490 homes, tucked into the oak-filled foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and built mostly in the late 1980s. It sits directly next to Bay Laurel Elementary — families like the easy walk to school — with the Calabasas Country Club close by. Homes run from comfortable family sizes to larger plans, and amenities inside the gates include a pool, spa, clubhouse and tennis courts. Multiple entrances and sidewalks give it a connected feel. Worth knowing — it's one of the more approachable gated options price-wise while still delivering the privacy and Las Virgenes schools that matter to so many buyers here.

    Creekside

    Keypad-gatedHOA

    Creekside is a keypad-gated community right next to Calabasas Creek in the Calabasas Park area. It offers a quieter, creek-side feel with a mix of homes that appeal to buyers who want gated privacy without the largest scale or highest dues. The setting feels tucked in and green, with easy access to the broader Calabasas amenities and the 101. One thing to consider is that being keypad rather than full guard changes the entry experience slightly, and the location near the creek can mean more natural surroundings — and occasionally more creek-related considerations — than hilltop estates.

    Contact Seda for current Creekside availability.

    Las Villas

    Non-gatedHOA

    Las Villas is the non-gated townhome community in the heart of Calabasas, offering lake-front living and low-maintenance convenience. It draws buyers who want to be close to The Commons, dining and the 101 without a big yard to manage — first-timers priced into the area, professionals, or anyone who likes the townhome lifestyle with Calabasas schools and amenities nearby. The honest note is that while you give up the large lot and full privacy of single-family gated living, you gain walkability to everyday needs and a simpler ownership experience that still puts you in the middle of everything Calabasas offers.

    Contact Seda for current Las Villas availability.

    Las Virgenes Village

    Non-gatedHOA

    Las Virgenes Village is a non-gated townhome community along Las Virgenes Road. It gives buyers a convenient, lower-maintenance option with easy access to the freeway, shopping and the broader Calabasas area while staying in the Las Virgenes school district. Homes here tend to be more compact and updated townhomes that appeal to a mix of professionals, small families and buyers who don't need sprawling lots. The trade-off is less private outdoor space and a more community-oriented, shared-wall feel compared to the big single-family enclaves — but for many that's exactly the simplicity they're after.

    Contact Seda for current Las Virgenes Village availability.

    Alizia Canyon

    Non-gatedHOA

    Alizia Canyon is a non-gated pocket of townhomes and homes tucked into the rolling hills above the main Calabasas core. It offers a quieter, more tucked-away suburban rhythm with convenient access to Las Virgenes Road and nearby amenities without the intensity of the larger enclaves. Buyers here often appreciate the lower-maintenance options and the sense of being slightly removed while still part of the Calabasas and Las Virgenes school community. The honest note is that inventory stays limited because it's a smaller pocket, so when something right appears it tends to move to someone who values that specific hill setting.

    Contact Seda for current Alizia Canyon availability.

    Oak Creek Estates

    Guard-gatedHOA

    Oak Creek Estates is a small guard-gated community of about three dozen estate homes. It draws buyers who want an exclusive, low-density feel with larger homes and the included amenities — four tennis courts and on-site security covered in the dues. The guard-gated entrance and compact size give it a private, almost intimate atmosphere compared to the bigger enclaves. One thing to know is that because it's so small, very few homes come on the market each year, and the dues reflect the high level of maintained privacy and those shared tennis facilities.

    Contact Seda for current Oak Creek Estates availability.

    Clairidge

    Non-gated

    Clairidge is a smaller non-gated enclave known for some of the larger custom homes in a more intimate setting. It gives buyers the space and privacy of an upscale pocket without the full gated infrastructure or higher dues, while still being part of the Calabasas area close to parks and the 101 corridor. The feel is quieter and less formal than the big guard-gated communities. The honest note is that limited inventory and the non-gated nature mean it appeals to buyers who want substantial homes and a low-key daily experience without the resort-style amenities or entry protocols of the larger enclaves.

    Contact Seda for current Clairidge availability.

    The Ridge

    Guard-gatedHOA

    The Ridge is an exclusive guard-gated community of about fifty estate homes in the Calabasas Park area. It attracts buyers who want upscale, quiet living with Mediterranean and traditional homes, some offering canyon or city-light views, plus eligibility for Calabasas Park HOA membership — which includes private Calabasas Lake access for qualifying Ridge residents. Tree-lined streets and proximity to Old Town Calabasas, The Commons and the 101 make daily life convenient while the gates and security keep it feeling protected. Worth knowing — because it's small and high-end, good properties don't come up often, and the lake access is a real differentiator for those who qualify through the HOA.

    Contact Seda for current The Ridge availability.

    Mountain Park

    Guard-gatedHOA

    Mountain Park is a guard-gated enclave off Mulholland Scenic Highway with approximately ninety homes offering privacy and views in the hills. It draws buyers who want substantial custom homes in a smaller, exclusive setting with the security and maintained feel of a true gated community. The location keeps you connected to Calabasas amenities while feeling removed enough for a peaceful daily rhythm. The honest note is that being off Mulholland and gated means slightly longer access times to the 101 for some, but the trade-off is the quiet, private atmosphere and the limited number of homes that keeps the enclave feeling special.

    Contact Seda for current Mountain Park availability.

    Bellagio

    Guard-gatedHOA

    Bellagio is a guard-gated community of about 160 to 170 homes in the lower Calabasas Park area, with a more approachable entry point into gated living. Homes are mostly Mediterranean or Spanish style in the 3,000 to 4,000 square foot range, with tree-lined streets and proximity to schools, parks and The Commons. It appeals to families and buyers who want the privacy and security of gates without stepping into the highest price tiers or largest-scale enclaves. One thing to consider is that while dues cover the two gated entrances and common maintenance, the overall cost and home sizes sit a step below the top estate communities — which is exactly why many buyers choose it as their gated Calabasas fit.

    Contact Seda for current Bellagio availability.

    Monte Nido

    Non-gated

    Monte Nido is the rustic canyon side of Calabasas — the part that feels like you've left the city behind. It draws buyers who want land, privacy and quiet over the more manicured gated estates: older ranch homes, custom builds and the occasional raw parcel on generous lots, some with room for horses. It sits right by the Malibu Creek State Park trails off Cold Canyon and Stunt. Worth knowing — it's not gated, many homes need updating and it's a genuine drive to the 101. The buyers who love it are happily trading convenience for that stillness you only get out here.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Calabasas

    Is Calabasas a gated community?

    No — the City of Calabasas itself is not gated. It is an incorporated city with public roads and unrestricted entry. However, Calabasas contains a dozen-plus distinct gated communities inside its boundaries, including guard-gated enclaves like The Oaks of Calabasas, Mountain View Estates, Calabasas Hills, Bellagio, and Mountain Park. That's why people often associate the city with gated living even though the city itself is open.

    Which Calabasas communities are guard-gated?

    The primary guard-gated communities inside Calabasas are The Oaks of Calabasas, Mountain View Estates, Calabasas Hills, Oak Creek Estates, The Ridge, Mountain Park, and Bellagio. Several other communities such as Creekside use keypad gates, and others like Calabasas Park Estates, Las Villas, Las Virgenes Village, Alizia Canyon, Clairidge, and Monte Nido are non-gated but still HOA-governed in most cases.

    What is the most expensive community in Calabasas?

    Among the named gated communities, The Oaks of Calabasas consistently commands the highest list prices, with estates frequently in the $5M–$15M range. Live per-community medians are shown above for select communities and update with each sync, so the answer reflects today's market rather than a fixed claim.

    Do Calabasas gated communities have HOA fees?

    Yes — every guard-gated community in Calabasas charges an HOA fee, and most non-gated planned developments do as well. Dues vary widely by community, generally running from a few hundred dollars a month in townhome enclaves like Las Villas and Las Virgenes Village to well over $1,000 a month in the larger guard-gated estate communities. Always confirm current dues, special assessments, and what they cover during escrow.

    What is the median home price in Calabasas?

    Calabasas median list prices typically run in the $2M+ range across the active MLS inventory, with substantial spread by community — entry-level townhomes start in the high six figures while estates in The Oaks can exceed $10M. See the live market snapshot above for the current figure computed from active inventory.

    What school district serves Calabasas?

    Calabasas is served by Las Virgenes Unified School District, consistently ranked among the top districts in Los Angeles County. Schools like A.C. Stelle Middle School and Calabasas High School receive high ratings. Viewpoint School offers a respected private option.

    Is Calabasas a separate city from Los Angeles?

    Yes. Calabasas is an incorporated city with its own government, police services, and municipal codes. It is not part of the City of Los Angeles, which means it maintains its own standards for development, services, and community character.

    What is daily life like in Calabasas?

    Calabasas residents enjoy a resort-style lifestyle with access to The Commons for shopping and dining, nearby hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains, and a strong sense of community through local events. The city feels private yet connected, with families gathering at parks, sports leagues, and school events.
