A neighborhood in the hills outside LA
The Tujunga Canyons neighborhood is about as rustic and rugged as Los Angeles gets. The community is set in the jagged In the hills north of Los Angeles and bordered by Santa Clarita on the west and the Angeles National Forest on the east. Residents are out in nature, sharing their hills and valleys with eagles, bears and mountain lions. “It’s a rural area out in the hills, which is attractive to people who want to get out of the city and into nature,” says Jeromy Robert, a real estate agent with The Agency.
Access to CA-14 and Interstate 210
While the neighborhood does feel removed, highways connect it with the greater region. “What’s interesting is that it’s still very close to city centers but feels very removed. You feel like you’re way out, but you're not too far from Santa Clarita,” says Robert. Via Little Tujunga Canyon Road, one of the neighborhood’s main arteries, Santa Clarita is 15 miles west. Pasadena and Los Angeles are farther south, sitting 25 and 30 miles away, respectively. CA-14 and Interstate 210 border the neighborhood, providing routes down the hills into town. The nearest commercial airport is 20 miles south at the Burbank Airport.
Angeles National Forest Borders the neighborhood
“I think what draws people to the area is that it’s less congested than a lot of other neighborhoods near LA since it’s on the outskirts,” says Richard Valdez, real estate broker and owner of Valdez Realty. “And the views of the mountains are really great.” Tujunga Canyons is surrounded by hiking, biking and horseback trails, as well as nature preserves. Walker Ranch occupies 140 acres on the western edge of the neighborhood, where the woodlands descend to Santa Clarita. The entrance to Angeles National Forest borders the neighborhood. Trails ranging from the difficult to the easy offer visitors the chance to retrace the footsteps of early settlers. Kagel Mountain is in the southwestern part of Tujunga Hills, near the border of Sylmar. Residents can access the trailhead near the Pacoima Reservoir and summit the 3,500-foot peaks for sweeping city views.
