Local news reports showed imagery of the "party house", based on a neighbor pointing it out during an interview. Saturday approximately 500 people were at the 11,000 sq ft home.
EDIT: The "party house" is accessed by a separate gate to those leading to Hidden Hills. Some attribute the location as "Hidden Hills West" while others suggest it is in unincorporated Los Angeles County not annexed to Calabasas ...yet. However, while there was angst & uproar over the location besmirching the name of Hidden Hills it did not change the fact a person was shot and a home had become a commercial entertainment enterprise with inadequate security.
Hidden Hills is not a gated community it is a gated city. There are three gated entrances into Hidden Hills, a general-law city incorporated in 1961, Round Meadow, Burbank, and the oldest entrance Long Valley.
The Hidden Hills Homeowners Association website articulates there are definitive architectural parameters that originate all the way back to when the community was established by A.E. Hanson in the early 1950's. "One of the most unique & important features contained in our CC&Rs is that they establish the Architectural Committee and define its power & authority."

However, it is not architectural violations which saw Hidden Hills reputation tarnished this past weekend. Rather it was a shooting, during a party with an estimated 500 people in attendance. The party was at a home listed on the upscale party rental site Giggster ; the fee for over 150+ attendees is $600/hr with a 6 hr minimum. The 6 bed 6.5 bath 10,000sq ft home, built in 2005 on two acres, sans pool or tennis court, is also listed for sale by Agency.
The Hidden Hills City website demographic details include the fact there are 648 home sites, the population is 1,888 of which 1,372 are registered voters (!). While the gates, seclusion, and safety attract celebrities the earlier residents, such as the namesake of the street the party-house is located, were associated with real estate, legal representation, and horse owners. The celebrity status came later along with larger homes as the original ranch homes were bought and reconfigured.
The next Hidden Hills City Council meeting on March 13th will most likely have a larger than ever participation.
