Chatsworth is a scenic community in the San Fernando Valley
Set in the San Fernando Valley, Chatsworth's natural scenery has drawn everyone from Hollywood stars to horse ranchers. The city about 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles is perhaps most widely known as the site of Spahn Ranch, a Western film set and the notorious headquarters of the Manson Family cult. But locals don't let that fact overshadow the area's true claim to fame. “Chatsworth, Northridge and Granada Hills all comprise an area with a lot of old Hollywood history. It used to be the weekend haven for celebrities and home to the estates of Lucille Ball, Barbara Stanwyck and stars like Chad Everett," says broker associate Stephanie Vitacco, who has over 35 years of experience in the area and works with Equity Union. "Some estates have been transformed into historic landmarks or retail destinations, and musicians and athletes still choose Chatsworth for its beauty and privacy.” The community’s views of the Santa Susana Mountains and rugged outcroppings are visible from some homes, and there are plenty of hiking trails to explore. In contrast, strip malls and chain stores in town help fuel a suburban lifestyle.

Midcentury homes, mansions and rural properties
Anchored by a small business district on its west side, Chatsworth features grid-style blocks of midcentury housing. The blocks become looser as they extend out toward the countryside, where stables and gated yards are more common. Prices typically range from around $900,000 to $2.5 million. Prospective buyers can find high-dollar mansions on the northern and eastern edges of the community, some on over an acre of land, like in the gated subdivision of Indian Springs Estates. The community has a severe wildfire risk given its proximity to nearby mountains and forests.
