Woodland Hills Neighborhood Guide

Where The Valley Goes Upscale

🧭Generally defined as the area: South of the Santa Monica Mountains, north of Ventura Boulevard, stretching from Topanga Canyon Boulevard east to Valley Circle Boulevard

📌Best known for: The Warner Center office parks and being 10 degrees hotter

👕You'll fit in if: You own a Lexus SUV and complain about Topanga traffic

👍Move here if you want: A big backyard without leaving LA County technically

👎The unspoken reality: Nights revolve around home, not the neighborhood

Don't say we didn't warn you about: Summer hitting 105 while the Westside stays at 75

TL;DR: Suburbia that still says LA
