The best areas in the San Fernando Valley to own a home:
Out of all the areas in the San Fernando Valley, here is a list of the best areas to own a home in:
Burbank - (where I currently live) Burbank is one of the best safest, centrally located near Downtown Los Angeles and affordable cities of San Fernando Valley. Burbank Unified School District is one of the reasons why Burbank is a great place to live, work and learn. Many families love to relocate to Burbank CA due to our excellent school district. In Burbank, 50% of the schools have API's of 800 or above. In addition, the remaining eight schools all have API's over 750. Of particular note is the progress made by John Burroughs and Burbank High Schools. Both high schools have shown steady growth over the past four years, and both schools are well above the average PI for high schools in California. It is also important to note that seven of Burbank's 11 elementary schools have API's over 800. The goal of each Burbank principal and teacher is to provide rigorous instruction that engages all learners every day. Burbank CA is also recognized as "Burbank Most Business Friendly Cities" and name among "100 Best Communities For Young People", Burbank CA "The Media Capital of the World".

Studio City - Buying a condo or Townhouse in Studio City, CA is a wise decision. You will be close to the entertainment industry, Ventura blvd, and the westside. Homes south of the blvd are at a premium and this is one of the most expensive neighborhoods to live in the San Fernando Valley. Studio City is considered the epicenter of the Valley. Studio City is located in the South East quadrant of the San Fernando Valley only 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles. It is bordered on the west by Sherman Oaks, on the east by Burbank and on the north by Valley Village-North Hollywood. Like the other communities along the South perimeter of the San Fernando Valley, real estate prices are at a premium. Studio City commands some of the highest priced real estate in the San Fernando Valley as a result of its close proximity to major freeways and canyon routes that allow quick access to the Los Angeles basin. Studio City is ideally situated for living, working or relaxing in the Los Angeles area.
Sherman Oaks another great area to live!. Sherman Oaks, CA rocks. Any home south of Burbank Blvd is great but homes south of Ventura Blvd sell at a premium.

San Fernando City - Over 200 years ago the community of San Fernando became the first to permanently settle in the San Fernando Valley of southern California, thus earning the title "First City of the Valley." Since then the settlement has been used as farmlands, ranch lands, a trading post, a gold town, and now a vibrant center of manufacturing and commerce with palm-lined boulevards and a sweeping view of the San Gabriel foothills. While most of the towns in the surrounding area have agreed to be annexed by L.A., San Fernando has always retained its independence, adding to a sense of local pride as it both benefits from the modern conveniences of LA yet remains autonomous in its governing. The area enjoys a Mediterranean climate with a mix of bucolic and urban living. The historic site of Lopez Adobe, once owned by the King of Spain, and the original San Fernando Mission, which dates back the to 1797, both testify to the city's long history.
