If it wasn't for the horrible guard gate, it would be my favorite neighborhood. As for the Oaks, its just plain weird. Half the houses are empty as their specs, no one is EVER outside, except the gardeners and a lot of the houses are built with only 10-15 feet of frontage. It's just weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-17916685545296185562008-07-09T06:58:00.000-07:002008-07-09T06:58:00.000-07:00When I first moved to CA, I loved the "new Calabas...When I first moved to CA, I loved the "new Calabasas style" of homes, Spanish McMansions with lots of newly planted palms. I wanted to get far away from east coast architecture. It wore off quickly. I still like spanish style architecture, but a drive through Hidden Hills will make you feel like you are in another world. Every house is different. Lots of mature trees. Yes, there are some newer grossly huge houses, but they are not cookie cutter. I don't know why any celebrity would pick the Oaks over Hidden Hills. I've also heard that the construction leaves a lot to be desired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-10492270429058855182008-07-08T20:41:00.000-07:002008-07-08T20:41:00.000-07:00No apologies due.

It's the original community in Calabasas, windy streets, hills, ranches, an adobe house It's not as 'cool' as the Hollywood Hills, but it's not as garish as the rest of Calabasas.

If you want to go to the Lakers/Dogers/Clippers or any decent concert, you have to drive an hour plus to get there. It's hotter in the summer, colder in the winter. I guess a 10 million dollar home out there is a 20 million dollar home in B.H., Holmby or Bel-Air.

The old and elegant are routinely translated as big and imposing in this part of the country. All of the hollow core doors in Calabasas aren't worth a single well made, century old, quarter sawn oak door. The price tags on these houses are about the only thing that is impressive.
