A welcoming suburban community by North Hollywood

Valley Village, located in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, has tree-shaded streets and lush foliage, offering a pleasant contrast to the fast-paced city life that lies beyond its borders. “The Village was built by workers at the movie studios back when the industry was just getting going,” says local Realtor Corrie Sommmers of Compass Real Estate. “There’s a strong sense of community, and people have always put a lot of effort into maintaining their properties.” Walking through the neighborhood, there is a strong sense of the communal spirit, and one will see neighbors chatting and children playing in the streets. Valley Village is also a low-rise community, which means the city has restrictions on building heights, ensuring the neighborhood not to be overshadowed by high-rises.

A beautiful area with a lot of resources available. Parks, good grocery stores, and is very safe and pretty. There isn't really much to do however, especially if you are young and looking to be in a fun/hip area. Also, the cost of living is extremely high. Also, there is a huge lack of diversity. It is a majority white neighborhood and most of the residents seem to prefer it that way.

Valley Village is relatively new and small. There just isn't a lot in it, it's mostly residential, though there are a lot of neat things in the neighboring areas of Studio City and North Hollywood.
