Is Calabasas A Good Place To Live? Redfin Sorts Through The Pros And Cons

CALABASAS, CA — Calabasas residents know their city is something special. Surrounded by the gorgeous Santa Monica Mountains and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles — but still close enough to the action — the community is widely known as a great place to live. But what about the cons?

Real estate website Redfin recently published a guide to living in Calabasas, covering both the good and the bad.

Redfin ranks Calabasas' access to nature as the top reason to move to the city (celebrity spotting comes in at number two). Negatives include a sky-high cost of real estate — the city's median sale price is around $1.76 million — an traffic congestion on the 101 Freeway.
