Real Estate Appraisers and Appraisals In
Los Angeles County, City of Calabasas
| 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,
with homes dubbed by appraisers as "McMansions." The historic El
Camino Real runs through Calabasas as U.S. Route 101. Calabasas funds its own
public transportation in the form of shuttle and trolley service. It augments
the service provided by The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Los Angeles and
funds its own library (rather than using the County library system), and also
has a protected and maintained historical district. In February 2006, Calabasas
placed a ban on smoking in nearly all public places, including sidewalks,
parking lots, patios, and even outdoor balconies in apartment complexes if they
were near public areas, making it the city with the most strict anti-smoking
laws in the United States. Under the new laws, smoking outside in the city is
restricted to selected "smoker outposts." Smoking in undesignated
areas under the new law could earn smokers fines of up to $500. The ban went
into effect in March 2006, garnering much local and national media attention. |
