A little mountain town in Los Angeles
Sunland sits between the Verdugo and San Gabriel mountains in the Crescenta Valley. This neighborhood, on the northern outskirts of Los Angeles, provides a taste of small-town life despite being part of the largest city on the West Coast. People can experience a quaint mountain town lifestyle near LA’s most popular attractions, surrounded by majestic views. Longtime residents may notice an influx of new neighbors. “It’s an up-and-coming area,” says Keller Williams broker Nick Avedissian, who has over three decades of experience. “It’s become very popular right now, especially for first-time homebuyers.”
Many beautiful homes can be found throughout the hills of Sunland.

Midcentury homes with mountain views
In the residential areas of Sunland, homes sit on streets lined with towering palm and evergreen trees. However, the picturesque neighborhood has its cons, like a severe fire risk due to its proximity to the Angeles National Forest, where wildfires can spread quickly. Architecture-wise, most of the homes in Sunland were built in the mid-20th century and are ranch-style homes with attached garages and driveways. Contemporary new construction has increased as new residents target the community. Ranch-style houses usually sell between $800,000 to $1.4 million, while new construction starts from $1.1 million and goes up from there. Homes tend to sell quickly here, no matter the style. “Any home in LA is in high demand,” says Realtor Sokrat Arzumanyan, who has over two decades of regional expertise and works with Coldwell Banker Hallmark.
Similar types of ranch style housing is common in Sunland.
Many homes in Sunland have a more modern feel and feature two car garages.

Mountain hiking at Oro Vista Park and more recreation
Sunland’s mountainous landscape allows for built-in recreation opportunities. At Oro Vista Park, which fittingly translates to Gold View Park, hikers can explore a dog-friendly trail with desert and mountain scenery. There is a small stream for swimming and picnic tables available. Tujunga Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary has a 3-mile trail — a rocky path open to hikers and horseback riders, who can pass by views of the mountains rising over the pond. The Angeles National Golf Club is a private 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus’ company. The course is known for its spectacular, panoramic vistas of the mountains and has an onsite cafe.
