Studio
City is located near the southeast corner of the San
Fernando Valley, just to the east of Sherman Oaks.
It is near the 170 freeway and the 134 freeway.
This
is a very eclectic city with a marvelous flare. There
are many unique shops, funky (and good) restaurants
and coffee houses. There are several theatres featuring
live performances. There is also more traditional
shopping along Ventura Boulevard. It is a fun and
fascinating place to call home.
The
housing in this area is a little older and mostly
middle to upper level. The hills are a little steeper
and many of the houses offer great canyon or city
views. There is a larger than normal for the Valley
variety from one house to the next and this keeps
it very interesting and intriguing. There are some
parts in the "flats" that are a little more
conforming. There is also a mix of small apartments
and condominium/townhome developments in the flats.
This
is an entertainment town with sound studios and sound
stages, so there is a fair amount of this type of
employment here. Due to the close freeway connections,
commuting out of this area is pretty easy. Downtown
is a close drive, as is Hollywood.
All
these factors combine to make Studio City an interesting
and fun place to call home.
