Downtown Burbank is the vibrant, retail-focused heart of Burbank
Downtown Burbank is arguably the most convenient neighborhood in the city. As its name suggests, the neighborhood is one of Burbank’s main hubs for shopping, dining and entertainment. But it’s also right next to Interstate 5 and home to the area’s only train station, making travel and commuting incredibly easy compared to other parts of the San Fernando Valley. Located in the heart of Burbank, the neighborhood is known for its shopping, but it's also home to offices and a significant amount of housing, mostly apartments and condos. “Convenience is definitely the main thing for most people who live downtown,” says Realtor Bill Toth of First Class Real Estate, who has lived in Burbank for over 40 years. “You’ve got tons of shops and restaurants right there, and there’s a fair bit of public transportation. It might be the only place in town where you could get by without a car.”

Modern condos and a few midcentury ranch-style homes
Housing in Downtown Burbank is primarily made up of multifamily residences, including apartment complexes, condos and mixed-use buildings. Many of these developments were built in the last two decades as part of the regional increase in urban density near transit and commercial areas. Multiunit options range from older mid-rise buildings with basic amenities to modern upscale complexes that include rooftop decks, fitness centers and stylish communal spaces. Some condominiums offer private balconies and secure parking, though units vary in size and price depending on location and building age. Unlike other areas of Burbank, single-family homes are rare in Downtown, though a few midcentury ranch-style homes can be found in the southeastern part of the neighborhood. Condos in the neighborhood usually sell for between $650,000 and $1 million. On the rare occasion a single-family home goes up for sale, it usually goes for between $1.2 million and $2 million.

Planes, trains and automobiles
Downtown Burbank is the central transportation hub for the entire city, so getting around is incredibly easy. “As far as getting around goes, it’s probably the most convenient location in the entire valley,” says Realtor and area native Cherryl Weaver of Re/MAX Empower. Interstate 5 runs through the neighborhood, allowing for straightforward car commuting. The Burbank Metrolink Station, located on Front Street, provides rail service to Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California, making the neighborhood a viable option for those who work in downtown LA. Local bus routes, operated by Metro and Burbank’s own BurbankBus system, connect Downtown to other parts of the city. It’s also just a couple of miles from the neighborhood to Hollywood Burbank Airport, which offers flights to over 30 destinations in the U.S.

The Burbank Winter Wine Walk and other local events
The neighborhood hosts many annual festivals, including the Burbank Winter Wine Walk and the Downtown Burbank Arts Festival, which showcases work from regional artists. Live music and comedy performances are also regularly scheduled at a number of venues in the neighborhood. “There’s really a lot to do here,” says Downtown resident Lucy Chang. “I mean, it’s not West Hollywood, but you can usually find some good live music on a weeknight.”
Noise can be an issue
Freeway and train noise can be an issue in a few parts of the neighborhood. However, most residential properties are far enough away from the highway and the tracks to make this a fairly minor concern.
