Results for “sherman oaks”

@Housing Neutral: You are an absolute moron. Ever hear of Greatschools.org. Plenty of Valley schools beat Beverly Hills High School in academics. Given, most of them are charter schools, but they still are guaranteed admission to the locale neighborhood boundaries.

Great elementary schools, high schools and magnets can be found all over the West Valley, Granada Hills, Porter Ranch, Woodland Hills, Encion and Sherman Oaks.

@RickSlaten: Rick you are a great booster for that part of town, good for you but saying it’s good does not make it true. I have this conversation with real estate brokers and people who own homes on the Westside all the time. It’s the same thing all the time, quality of life, weather, amenities, the drive. You like it and it works because you might not be so picky over certain quality of life issues, some people don’t mind the hot nasty weather, pollution that bakes in the valley, some don’t mind not being central or having great amenities around you or part of vibrant city. Over 1000 restaurants from Century City to WEHO to Beverly Grove. These Things might not matter to you but they do to many people who pay a premium to live closer to the action. It’s just a preference but stop being delusional and thinking it’s better or even the same, it’s not and was never built to be. I also would look at Sherman Oaks or Encino before Calabasas, or even San Marino, Arcadia, and nicer parts of San Gabriel Valley. Long term with the Asian influx property prices will have higher potential then Calabasas.

I was a die hard LA girl. My mantra was "I don’t go to the Valley unless I’m paid , while working with my reps etc" at the time I owned an apt in BH, sold it in 2013. People thought I was crazy for moving to East Side when. I bought a craftsman on a 7000 sf lot in hot trendy Atwater, then and everyone said I was crazy again when I sold it after a year, but i made couple hundred K for doing almost nothing to it! So I invested that $ into a great property on 25,000 lot in Tarzana, yea Tarzana. Me the die hard LA girl lives on a haff acre of horse property, with a 1930’s Spanish 3 bd/3 ba main house, plus office and 1/2bath on garage and a full guest house! 2 car garage electronic gated estate in the "Valley".
Honestly I love LA but screw million $ condos and apts! bTW mikeday the property I bought in …gasp, the Valley! In April has already appreciated over 500k and is over 1.4 on my last appraisal!! So looks like my 1/2 acre elec.gated, stucco walles estate that is 15 minutes from Brentwood, is a shitload better than what you would ever get in the city for 3-4 million!
 I agree Callabassas is far, even for the valley but it’s likely the house is in the Oaks that is secure, gated, serene, private. The house is beautiful but agree it lacks any je ne se qua! But Calabassas has lots of stables, riding etc in the area (Katie & Suri ride) wildlife, and keeps assholes like mikeday away! Good for her and btw who cares where she buys. I’m sure she can buy another on the beach when she wants. Why so angry at Katie & the Valley mikeday? Go Katie, the VALLEY and even Calabassas;)

Curbed wanted a cutesy headline good for a giggle, thought they were being funny and called it Thousand Oaks. This is in Westlake Village. And, for the ignorant who are trying to make TO sound like the slums, both cities are upscale, expensive bedroom communities. We pay an arm and a leg to live here, and we like our trees big and old, our neon signage small and inconspicuous, and there’s not one pot dispensary in the entire county. Thousand Oaks is the home of low crime rates, high property taxes, and I find no humor in some douchebag developer attempting to make room for another Starbucks drivethru by chopping trees down. Oh, one more thing: NOT ALL OF Westlake Village is palatial. There’s a fucking Popeyes Chicken in that strip mall, so go tell THAT homeboy, cuz the only other one in the county is in Oxnard on the corner of Vato and Hyna.

@LosFelizRabbit: Don’t compare this area to WEHO. LA City is being run by a bunch of incompetent council members who have way too large of an area to manage. WEHO is a prime example of what happens when a local and vested government takes responsibility and control. WEHO looked worse then this 1984 now look at it, LA needs to split into several more cities if it’s every going to move forward. Hollywood was once it’s own city, bring it back and make the following into new cities- Hollywood, combine Brentwood-Bel Air, Korea Town, combine Beverly Grove-Fairfax, Sherman Oaks, and Encino to start.

Fair Oaks is the official east/west split of the address grid in Pasadena. As for the house, I’m loving it. They just don’t make them like this anymore…

This is NorthEAST Pasadena, not northwest. The east/west dividing line is arguably Fair Oaks, possibly Los Robles. Anything east of Hill is, practically by definition, East Pasadena.

@zanian: It may be too hot to your liking, but there are a plethora of Oaks and Sycamores and other tree cover that help temper the climate. Also everyone has pools and air conditioning, and it’s nice to be able to go swimming, while the weather on the Westside is too cool to enjoy a pool or the ocean.

This looks like every other sub division in Thousand Oaks.
This is laughably terrible.

The overall design looks generic and really hides the Sunkist Building. As a previous poster noted, IMT is all over the Sherman Oaks/Studio City area — they must be in cahoots with certain politicos! Not the most imaginative designs. AS for TJ’s, at one-time there was a rumor they were going into this new development. But if it is Sprout’s, fine by me. The current TJ’s is too small for the area, a parking hassle and just not a pleasant experience. Maybe competition will spur changes.
