Move over Malibu and Beverly Hills, many of today’s wealthiest celebrities are leaving the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles behind and moving to the cozy suburb of Calabasas, California. Even though some might not want to admit it, Keeping Up with the Kardashians played a role in putting this hidden gem of a city on the map as the reality show was filmed there. Kim Kardashian is the most popular resident of Calabasas, but Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Drake have all called this suburb home for its privacy and close proximity to Hollywood.
