THE FUTURE OF WOODLAND HILLS REAL ESTATE in my opinion is one of the brightest in the Valley.  For many years, Woodland Hills has been a sleepy suburb tucked away in the Southwest Valley.  When I first started in Real Estate in 1977 it was thought to be just a little too far out and the 101 Freeway made it an unattractive commute for many of the high income shakers and movers on the West Side.  At the same time, Woodland Hills was touted by a popular periodical, L.A. Magazine, as one of the safest areas of the city and one of the best areas for families.  The busing of school children which began in the early 1980's had a negative effect economically on Woodland Hills.  Many affluent families which had been previously locating in Woodland Hills due to the excellent schools now tended to buy closer to work and put their kids in private schools.  Other folks, dependent on the public school system tended to pass by Woodland Hills in preference of the new neighborhoods of Calabasas and the emerging Las Virgenes School District.  Woodland Hills however was not to be kept down.  Over a period of time, the lovely neighborhoods and lower prices once again began attracting young families.  The elementary schools became known as some of the best in the city and Taft and El Camino High Schools traded off winning the National Academic Achievement award for several years in a row. 

Another factor which contributes to the quality of life and is providing additional high level employment is the Warner Center.  Rapidly developed in the boom years of the 1980's, it became overbuilt and the towers sat practically empty through much of the 90's.  The buildings are now substantially full, even in these times, and the expansion of the Westfield Shopping Mall and entertainment center promises to bring even more jobs in the future.  State of the art Movie Theaters and a variety of traditional and eclectic clubs and restaurants are great centers for family entertainment and nightlife.

Woodland Hills had suffered a deeper recession than much of the Valley and began it's upward surge from a deeper hole.  Although, like the rest of the Valley it inflated very rapidly, it ramained primarily within the reach of most working families.  Most of the amenities now in place had just reached fruition shortly before 2007 and the area never really got to experience the economic boost that  this would have provided.  No longer a sleepy suburb, Woodland Hills is now the economic center of the West Valley.

It is only my opinion as a Real Estate Broker and long time resident of Woodland Hills, but prices that are affordable to young families, good schools, and a fabulous maturing economic base make Woodland Hills one of the most attractive investments and one of the best places in the city to locate your family.  If you would like more information on this great area, please contact me at 818-903-9039 or email to randy@remaxgrand.com.  If you would like to do your own research on the Real Estate in the Woodland Hills area please visit my website, randykistler.listingbook.com.

Woodland Hills, CA, is located in the South Western end of the San Fernando Valley. The over 62,000 residents enjoy the mostly year-round, moderate climate. In high demand are the Woodland Hills award winning schools.

The San Fernando Valley is surrounded by mountain ranges and consists of many districts, each with its own characteristics. Originally farms, ranches and citrus orchards, (Some trees are still on properties) tracts of homes were built in the 1950's and 1960's. Development continued, moving into the Northern and Western end of the Valley as demand for homes in the suburbs increased.

Warner Center, the hub of the business district, is located in the heart of Woodland Hills with over 1,100 acres. It is a planned community with a variety of housing including condominiums, apartments, retaiil and offices. There are two major shopping centers and smaller centers which provide services. Single family homes which include luxurious, hillside view homes surround the area. Concerts in Warner Park are a popular event, produced by the Warner Center Cultural Center.

Woodland Hills is about 26 miles to Los Angeles Civic Center with its many cultural activities: Performances at the Music Center and Disney Hall. Staples Center offers many sports and other events. There is a diverse selection of shopping available in the downtown area. Residential opportunities are currently being created and purchased as a new resurgence of buyers are choosing to live near their work as well as being able to enjoy the convenience of local entertainment, restaurants and shopping. Freeways and mass transit provide popular visits to Universal Studios, Disneyland, Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood and other attractions.

Enjoyable visits to the  the Pacific Ocean beaches are a frequent, enjoyable trip. The expansive, beautiful coastline is within an hour's drive over scenic mountain roads or freeways. You may find the scenic drive so appealing that you continue to drive the coastline to the Northern beach areas with their own special appeal.

When you visit, bring your bathing suit and camera. (I will be happy to give you a tour)

Concerts at Warner Park in Woodland Hills starts tomorrow...

While reading some articles in Topix.net, I ran across a piece about a new shopping center that is coming to the San Fernando Valley area. Click to read this article entitled, “Woodland Hills Gets Ready for Some Shopping”. Within the next two years, the Australian-based Westfield group will begin work on what is to be, one of the largest shopping center in California. This $750 million outdoor retail complex will connect the Topanga and Promenade malls in the San Fernando Valley. It will be called the Village in Warner Center and is expected to feature 150 condominiums and apartments, a 300-room hotel and 550,000 square feet of retail space. After its completion, the total area of this “three-mall behemoth” will be some 3.8 million square feet including the hotel and residential housing units. The Village in Warner Center plans to attract an additional 10 million annual visitors to the already existing 15 million who visit Topanga and 9 million who visit the Promenade each year. If you love shopping, this will come as welcome news and will definitely give you more options in terms of variety of retail stores and products. The Village in Warner Center promises to be another of the great things about living in the Woodland Hills, California area of the San Fernando Valley. Click to read this article in its entirety.
