San
Fernando is one of the few incorporated cities in
the San Fernando Valley. It is located in the northeast
corner of the Valley. It is one of the smaller areas
as well as one of the older. The city gets the name
from it's namesake, the San Fernando Mission. Many
of the buildings show their hispanic heritage in their
architectural style.
The
housing is mostly older with some of the homes built
in the 1930's. They are usually smaller homes with
many of the neighborhoods showing very good pride
of ownership.
There
are many local and close-by employment opportunities.
For those that have jobs outside this area, the 5,
118 and 210 freeways offer good commuting. Commuting
to downtown Los Angeles is getting a little far, but
there are many that do make that drive.
