Rancho Adjacent has horse properties next to iconic Griffith Park

It’s not uncommon to see people riding or walking horses down the middle of the street in Burbank’s Rancho Adjacent neighborhood. The community is home to dozens of horse properties that sit just north of LA’s iconic Griffith Park. “What makes this neighborhood so unique is that the homes here are allowed to have barns and stables in the backyard," says Bryan Ochse, broker and owner of Media West Realty, who has worked in the area for more than two decades. "People actually ride their horses right down the road and into Griffith Park, which has 50 miles of horse trails. There’s nowhere else in LA like it."Located along Burbank’s southern edge, the neighborhood’s quiet residential streets extend out toward several Hollywood movie studios, the Los Angeles Equestrian Center and a local hospital. It’s about 2 miles from the city’s busy downtown district. “Burbank is the media capital of the world. We’ve got seven studios here including Universal Studios, Time Warner and Disney,” Ochse says.

Residents can get to Griffith Park by crossing a Los Angeles River pedestrian bridge

Parks and recreation are a major draw for residents. A pedestrian bridge on West Valley Heart Drive crosses over the Los Angeles River and into Griffith Park — the city’s famed urban wilderness. Rugged trails wind around brush-laden hillsides leading to vistas that look across the cityscape. The park is home to the Hollywood sign, the Greek Theatre performing arts venue and the Los Angeles Zoo. “It’s an unbelievable location. You can walk or horseback ride all over the park. From the top of the hills, you get some incredible views of the Pacific and the San Gabriel Mountains,” Ochse says. Smaller parks include Mountain View Park, where residents enjoy tennis and basketball courts, a playground and shady stands of trees. The neighborhood’s western edge is home to Johnny Carson Park, named for the famed late-night host. It sits next to several major film and television studios. Its proximity to the San Gabriel Mountains means this area is susceptible to the impacts of wildfires. It's just a few miles from Eaton Canyon, where a massive wildfire destroyed thousands of homes in January 2025.

Everything from early 20th century homes to rustic horse properties

Rancho Adjacent offers a mix of single-family homes, condos and apartments, with most homes dating back to the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Modestly sized Traditional homes and ranch-styles are the most common designs — and while they may be nearing 100 years old, most have been updated and renovated. Horse properties situated along the neighborhood’s southern edge offer more acreage at a higher price. “This area commands top-dollar because it’s unique and it’s different,” Ochse says. Prices range from around $1 million to $2.5 million. Those looking for a more affordable option will find condos that list for between $600,000 and $800,000. About two-thirds of Rancho Adjacent’s residents are renters.
