Calabasas
California is the most populous state of the United States. Located on the Pacific coast of North America, it is bordered by Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico. California is known for its pleasant climate and ethnically diverse population. The name California is most commonly believed derived from a storied paradise peopled by black Amazons and ruled by Queen Califia.
Calabasas is a city in Los Angeles County, California, in the western United States. As of the 2005 census, the city population was 23,123. The city was formally incorporated in 1991. Many parts of Calabasas are mountains or hills, which have spectacular views of the San Fernando Valley. Many of the neighborhoods in Calabasas are gated communities.
Calabasas contains many different communities, many of which are defined by gates that only residents and guests can enter and others by the geographical differences. For example, Vista Pointe is located along the transverse ranges that run parallel to and in between the 101 freeway and Pkwy Calabasas Road.
