Why Live in Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks, California, developed in the 1920s as a calmer alternative to Los Angeles, has grown into a lively community with its own dining, shopping and recreation hubs. Housing is varied, but single-family residences make up most of the market. You'll find a little of everything from modest, midcentury ranch-style homes to large custom hillside estates, as well as condos and townhouses. The area is served by the Los Angeles Unified School District, and some students attend Kester Avenue Elementary and the nearby private Berkeley Hall School. Ventura Boulevard is a destination for dining, with well-known spots like Casa Vega and Bacari, while vintage clothing shops, grocery stores and the Westfield Fashion Square mall round out shopping needs. Staying active is straightforward, with the Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Recreation Center offering pickleball and tennis courts, a heated Olympic-sized pool and kids’ programs, and nearby hiking trails that climb toward Mulholland Drive. Community life is reinforced by the annual Sherman Oaks Street Fair along Ventura Boulevard and weekly farmers markets at Westfield Fashion Square. Commuters rely on the Ventura Freeway and Interstate 405, with drives of about 10 miles to UCLA, Beverly Hills and Burbank, and roughly 15 miles to downtown Los Angeles, though travel times can stretch during peak traffic.
