The Mulholland Corridor is the most concentrated stretch of private, gated luxury living in Southern California. It traces the spine of the Santa Monica Mountains from the gated cities of Calabasas and Hidden Hills westward through the Malibu canyons, and east through Bel Air, Beverly Hills Post Office, Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, and the Hollywood Hills — a 50-mile arc connecting virtually every world-class enclave in Los Angeles.
Nathaniel Pitchon-Getzels and Sarah G. Anderson of Getzels Group | Christie's International Real Estate have mapped 79 gated communities along this corridor, with approximate pricing, HOA dues, school districts, gate types, drive times and lifestyle filters, in the interactive tool below. Figures are compiled from public sources, association information and MLS listing records, updated October 2026.
This guide covers the full geographic reach of gated living along Mulholland — from the equestrian estates of Calabasas and the guard-gated enclaves of Woodland Hills to the hillside communities of Bel Air, the oceanfront compounds of Malibu Cove Colony, the trophy estates of Beverly Park, and the canyon hideaways of Hollywood Hills.
Click any dot to see pricing, HOA fees, school district, drive times and lifestyle features. Use the filters to narrow by gate type, area, budget, or lifestyle — equestrian, golf, tennis, beach, or hiking. The "Match Me" quiz finds your top 3 communities in under 60 seconds.
Not all gates are equal. Guard-gated communities — like The Oaks of Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and Beverly Park — have 24-hour staffed entry booths that log every visitor. Auto-gated communities use electronic gates with key cards or codes. Private enclaves like The Estates at The Oaks or Oak Pass in Bel Air may have multiple layered gates with no external HOA visibility at all. The map color-codes every community by gate type so you can filter immediately.
School district can determine which side of Mulholland Drive you choose. Las Virgenes Unified (LVUSD) — consistently ranked among California's top public districts — serves Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and Agoura Hills. LAUSD serves Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Beverly Hills Post Office, Bel Air, and Hollywood Hills. Santa Monica-Malibu Unified serves Malibu's gated communities. Every community in the map is labeled with its district.
Buyers often underestimate canyon geography. A community that looks close on a flat map may be 25 minutes from your office via Mulholland Drive. Each community shows drive times to three real-world destinations: the 101 Freeway, Beverly Hills, and Pacific Coast Highway — the three axes that define daily life along the Corridor.
In communities like The Oaks, Hidden Hills, Beverly Park, Serra Retreat, and Malibu Cove Colony, a significant percentage of transactions happen before a home ever hits the MLS. Nathaniel and Sarah maintain active relationships with homeowners across all 79 communities. If you're interested in a specific enclave, the best first call is to them — not a listing search.
Beverly Park is in a category of its own. Approximately 80 trophy estates on 2–5 acre lots, accessed through two 24-hour guard-gated checkpoints at the top of the Beverly Hills Post Office hills. Home to A-list celebrities and billionaires, with sale prices recorded as high as $120M+. The community is divided into North and South sections, each with its own gated entry. This is the address that defines ultimate privacy in Los Angeles.
The Oaks is the most recognized luxury address in Calabasas — a 24-hour guard-gated community of approximately 550 homes with a world-class recreation campus including tennis courts, a pool and spa, gym, and private park. Homes range from $4.5M to $20M+. The Estates at The Oaks sits within The Oaks behind a second private gate, with roughly 50 ultra-exclusive residences priced from $5M to $38M+.
Hidden Hills is not just a community — it is an incorporated city. The entire 1.7-square-mile municipality operates as a single guard-gated enclave with three 24-hour staffed entrances logging every vehicle. Entirely equestrian-zoned, with no sidewalks, no streetlights, and no commercial properties. Homes range from $2.1M to $30M+.
Serra Retreat is Malibu's most prestigious guard-gated hillside enclave — walking distance to the Malibu Pier and Country Mart, with two 24-hour guarded entry points. Ocean-view estates on 1–5 acre lots, prices from $2M to $48M+. The closest gated community to PCH on the eastern end of Malibu.
Whether you're searching for an equestrian estate in Hidden Hills, a celebrity-caliber compound in Beverly Park, an oceanfront gate in Malibu, or a private canyon retreat in Bel Air, Nathaniel and Sarah know every gate, every street, and every off-market opportunity across all 79 communities on this map.
