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.”

I like the amount of things to do. There is a lot in Woodland Hills to choose from. They have a variety of restaurants and the placement is also great. It is in the middle of the San Fernando Valley and it is nice because I am less than 20 minutes away from most things.

Overall, I like the community. It is pretty safe, the restaurants are good, and I am in close distance to most things. However, I wish there were more walkable places.

It's a very safe, quiet suburb in northwestern Los Angeles County. Very beautiful trees and nature, high socioeconomic population, not very racially diverse unfortunately, but a nice place to settle down and raise a family. Many high-quality restaurants and stores within a short distance, but public transportation is very lacking.

It's a good place to live with many stores nearby. There is an issue of traffic and it can be dangerous on the roads.
