Where to GO and What to DO

The Oaks of Calabasas—Los Angeles County’s premier master-planned community. Years of thoughtful planning have created neighborhoods of the highest caliber and have taken into consideration the largest to the smallest of details. The Oaks’ geographic location is prime—chosen for its beauty, availability of views and vistas and serenity, but also for its convenience to excellent schools, shopping and entertainment and outdoor recreation. Residents enjoy a 24-hour guarded entrance, well-maintained grounds and a 3 1/2 acre community park that includes a multi-use clubhouse, champion sized pool, kiddie pool, tennis and sport courts, a picnic area, playing field and a jogging/walking trail.

Calabasas, California

It is generally accepted that Calabasas means "pumpkin," "squash," or "gourd," derived from the Spanish calabaza. Some historians hold the theory that Calabasas is a translation of the Chumash word calahoosa. In honor of its namesake, the city's Chamber of Commerce holds an annual Pumpkin Festival in October, including carnival games, exhibits, demonstrations, and live entertainment. The festival has evolved from a small town fair to an annual event. Though the location of the Pumpkin Festival changes from year to year, the original festival was meant to have taken place where, according to legend, a traveling wagon carrying pumpkins overturned and started the area's first pumpkin patch. The City's official logo, depicting the red-tailed hawk flying over the Santa Monica Mountains, symbolizes a commitment to preserving the community's natural beauty and semi-rural quality of life. The City logo is featured on the Calabasas City flag which is flown in front of City Hall and hangs in the City Council Chambers.

Education

Calabasas residents are zoned to schools in the Las Virgenes Unified School District, which also includes nearby Agoura Hills. Students within the district can fairly easily choose to attend either high school. Between the years of 1997 to 2001 and 2005 to 2009 Calabasas High School[23] had hired a new principal at the beginning of every school year. In January 2004, A. C. Stelle Middle School was opened on the corner of Mulholland Highway and Paul Revere Ave. Calabasas is also home to the private Viewpoint School and Calmont School.[24] It is also home to the elementary schools Round Meadow Elementary and Chaparral Elementary.

Civic Center

n July 2008 under the financial leadership of Dr. Gary Lysik, Chief Financial Officer for Calabasas, the City completed construction of a brand new civic center and library complex. Located at 100 Civic Center Way, the two building complex is the first municipal-owned and constructed 'green' civic center structure in the state of California. It is estimated that the complex cost approximately $45,000,000 to complete. This figure includes the outright purchase of the land on which the complex sits.
