The Rancho Equestrian Neighborhood

The Rancho Equestrian Neighborhood or "The Rancho" as it's commonly referred to, is bordered by Griffith Park to the south, Victory Blvd. to the east, Olive Avenue to the west and Alameda Ave. to the north.  What makes this community so popular is that it's zoned for horses and it boasts beautiful winding, tree lined streets!

There are roughly 785 single family homes and many of those have stables.  The community is represented by the Burbank Rancho Homeowners, a group formed in 1963 to represent the interests of the residents.

Rancho real estate is very sought after and tends to sell at a premium.  In addition to the equestrian zoning, other amenities include it's adjacency to the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, connection to riding trails in Griffith Park and numerous parks.

It's common to see people on horseback along Riverside Drive, it's main thoroughfare.  This scenic street is lined with Sycamore and Oak trees, some more than 70 years old.  The Rancho, coincidentally, was the home to T.V. star and talking horse "Mr. Ed" along with Ava Gardner, Ronald Reagan and Tab Hunter as well as Bette Davis in the adjoining Glendale Rancho area.

The rancho is very desired for it's parks and open space. This includes Mountain View Park, Johnny Carson Park, Los Angeles' Griffith Park and Equestrain Center, Bette Davis Park (in the adjoining Glendale Rancho) and the neighborhood's Polliwog area, which extends along Disney Studios' animation building is used by local residents to exercise their horses.

It's been a favorite neighborhood of mine for many years and I highly recommend a look if you are exploring Burbank real estate.
