Leisurely living in a scenic San Fernando Valley enclave
Nestled in the San Fernando Valley and located at the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, Woodland Hills is a picturesque residential enclave that is enveloped by the natural beauty of the Pacific Coast. Woodland Hill is known for having reputable area charter schools, convenient shopping centers along Topanga Canyon Boulevard, city and state parks for hiking and major development projects. With $1 billion of investment, Warner Center sits at the heart of the neighborhood and is a business, commercial and residential district. With office space for large entertainment and insurance corporations, hotels and a sports complex in the works, this area will become a center of the San Fernando Valley. “You get more privacy here as Woodland Hills has less population density and the lots are bigger,” says Alex Duk, managing partner at Harcourts Beverly Hills with eight years of experience. “There’s also more natural greenery and it’s between Calabasas and Sherman Oaks while in proximity to Malibu.”

There are nice people and it's not dirty. There are nice views. It's a little bit congested, but not too bad.

I have lived in Woodland Hills for about one year and since living here, I have really enjoyed it. I like how everything is around—there are many places to shop, multiple grocery stores within a short distance, and everything is close. Coming from Ohio, it was nice to see a place with such diversity. Something I do not like about living in Woodland Hills is the homeless epidemic. It somewhat makes you feel unsafe, but living in the valley is probably one of the safer areas in Los Angeles.

I have lived in Woodland Hills since I was nine years old. My experience has been peaceful, and comforting. There is not a lot of crimes around the neighborhood and my former high school is down the street from my house. The are is very convenient because there are multiple food places and the freeway entrance is right by my house. I would recommend anyone to visit Woodland Hills.
