Suburban living in "the city of stars"

Studio City is a community named for its storied history in filmmaking and television production. The area is home to CBS Studios, Radford Studio Center and Hanna-Barbera Studios, which have produced renowned television programs like Seinfeld and Looney Tunes, and the community itself is also home to houses used in shows like The Brady Bunch and Boy Meets World. Studio investment and expansion have created thousands of jobs and catalyzed the overall growth of the greater Studio City community. “Studio City is the quintessential jewel of the valley," says Rodeo Realty Estates Director Tregg Rustad. “It has a suburban vibe with all of the city conveniences; there are amazing food and shopping options and it’s just over the hill to Beverly Hills and the city.”

I have lived in the Studio City area for 1 1/2 years and so far it has been a great choice. I have found the area to offer a great variety for a 20-something with no children. It is more expensive than other parts of the San Fernando Valley but you are really paying for the location. I have everything i need within a 5 mile radius and am able to try so many different restaurants before needing to go outside my bubble. I think once it's time to start settling down, I will have to move somewhere a little more economic.
