City Information of West Hills, CA

About West Hills, California

West Hills California is yet another well known area in the San Fernando Valley – famous for its views of the valley AND its popular citizens. If you are looking for a home in the greater Los Angeles area, there are many reasons to consider West Hills CA as a potential spot.

West Hills can be found by heading north from Woodland Hills, or northeast from Hidden Hills. You can also get to it by heading west from Canoga Park and, in fact, it was once part of Canoga Park until 1990. The Chatsworth Reservoir runs along the north of the city.

Buying real estate in this area means that you’ll enjoy neighbors like Tom Cruise and Alyssa Milano. Can you imagine telling your friends that you have bought a property next to one of those stars?

But of course that’s not why people buy real estate in the San Fernando Valley. It’s just a perk. People looking to buy a home in West Hills look for other things, such as education for their children, accessibility to other cities (for commuters) and, of course, things to do when they’re not working!

There are six public elementary schools that serve West Hills, including Pomelo Street Elementary School, Welby Way Elementary School, Haynes Street Elementary School, Justice Street Elementary School, Hamlin Street Elementary School, and Capistrano Avenue Elementary School. There are three middle schools and three high schools that serve the area (and some surrounding areas). And, of course, private schools are available for parents who want other options for their children’s education.

Commuters can travel conveniently within the San Fernando Valley, which means that you can live in West Hills CA and work in a different city. However, West Hills is more than a commuter’s “bedroom community”, it is a full city unto itself.

And if you’re looking for something to do, West Hills is almost famous for its fast food restaurants! Curiously, fast food restaurants have migrated to West Hills at a greater rate than other cities which means that you can always find something to eat on the fly.

One of the really exciting things about buying a property in West Hills CA is the opportunity to be part of the very active West Hills Neighborhood Association. This association is far more active than in other cities, offering value-added services to those who live in West Hills. They offer newsletters, safety tips, and civic resources all to help residents enjoy living there.

This last point alone makes West Hills a remarkable choice to buy property in the San Fernando Valley. Many cities should take note and adopt the same interest in ensuring their residents are that cared for.
