Long ago the Chumash Indians once roamed these great plains. The Chumash Indians lived peacefully in this valley we now call Calabasas. Calabasas means "Where the wild geese fly." To this day, wild beautiful Canadian geese still fly over these breathtaking mountainous hills and plains. Here in Calabasas you can still feel the peace, calmness, open space and fresh air as did the pioneers who settled into these areas.

Today lovely restaurants, antique stores, unique historic buildings still stand in the quaint valley. On Saturday morning you can smell the fresh organic fruits and vegetables, breads, jellies and jams, beautiful cut flowers from the valley, herbs and spices, brought in by the local farmers.

The climate is ideal. The cool ocean breezes flow over the Calabasas mountains into the unique valley. Transportation and access to the freeways are just minutes away. The 101 Freeway runs east and west through the valley of Calabasas. The 101 Freeway also takes you into the 405 Freeway which goes to Long Beach South, interchanges to the 10 Freeway which run into downtown Los Angeles.
