Valley Village

Probably the best kept secret of the San Fernando Valley is this two square mile slice of Americana just north of the 101 freeway where the wider rural streets are shaded by towering walnut and sycamore trees, remnants of the former 10 acre arboretum located where Colfax Charter Elementary now educates its younger residents. Families are keen to own one of these classic California Ranch style homes here in order to walk their children to one the city’s most well regarded public schools which boasts gardens, a mini farm & ample playground space. If you’re still not convinced of its wholesome vibe, plant a chair along Addison Street on the 4th of July to enjoy the festive neighborhood parade open to residents of all ages on foot, tricycle, skateboard or classic car who come together to celebrate America’s birthday.
