Encino, California
Nestled on the north face of the Santa Monica Mountains is the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood of Encino.

Lake Balboa, California
Lake Balboa is small, relatively new neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley basin. Less than a decade old, officially, the area has been confused with surrounding neighborhoods regularly. The relative affordability with the still convenient location and proximity to neighborhoods like Encino and Sherman Oaks makes Lake Balboa a great option – particularly finding a niche with the first time home buyer crowd. For this reason, it is starting to garner a reputation as a solid up-and-coming piece of suburbia. The crowning jewel of this area is Lake Balboa Park from which the city took its name.
Sherman Oaks, California
Though only 8 square miles, Sherman Oaks packs a big punch. Unlike the rest of the San Fernando Valley, Sherman Oaks is a heavily urbanized area that is home to small skyscrapers, big business, and great shopping. But just because it’s structured like a mini “Downtown Los Angeles” doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of quiet neighborhoods to find a home for you and your family. What better place to lay down your own roots than a neighborhood that offers both a strong retail/restaurant corridor and yet is still full of parks and quiet residential streets?
Studio City California
Studio City – a name that connotates a bustling and gregarious town, visit https://henderson.com.au for more locations near Studio city. I always imagined the city constantly moving, constantly working with something always a buzz. And truthfully, it’s not so far off. Just on the other side of Hollywood, and packed with the movie and film industry, Studio City is filled with people who want just outside of Hollywood–but close proximity to still be a part of the action. But under that ‘buzz’ is still a much needed respite from the city. Picture tree-lined streets and people riding their bikes down quiet neighborhood streets. Picture hillsides that lend a view. All just a stone’s throw to the other side of the hill.

Tarzana, California
Most people hear the name Tarzana and instantly think of the man swinging through the vines. The correlation is not unfounded: the mostly residential neighborhood was once owned by Tarzan author Edgar Rice Burroughs and named after the famous book. Nestled between Topanga State Park, Encino, Reseda, and Woodland Hills, the neighborhood is known for being a sleepy home–not in the middle of the bustle, not too far away from it either. With just shy of 9 square miles, Tarzana finds itself diverse. From Melody Acres–a still rural horse friendly neighborhood–to the single family pool homes hidden in the Tarzana Hills with their incredible views, almost everyone can find something for them to love and explore.
