A Guide to Calabasas Gated Communities
The Oaks, The Estates, Mountain View Estates — Calabasas has several distinct gated communities, each with its own character and price range.
Calabasas is defined by its gated communities, and understanding the differences between them matters when you're buying. The major communities each have their own character, HOA structure, amenities, and price range — and buyers who don't know the distinctions can end up in the wrong one.
The Oaks is one of the most well-known — a guard-gated community with larger homes, strong amenities, and a price range that reflects it. The Estates at Calabasas offers a similar level of security and privacy at slightly different price points. Mountain View Estates and other communities in the hills offer views and privacy that the flatter communities don't have.
HOA fees vary significantly between communities and cover different things — some include amenities like pools and tennis courts, others are primarily for security and common area maintenance. Understanding what you're paying for and what the HOA's financial health looks like is part of the due diligence on any gated community purchase. Nancy can walk you through the specifics of each community.
