Solitude & City Life Near The Santa Monica Mountains

Nestled on the north side of the Santa Monica Mountains, Studio City and Sherman Oaks are two side-by-side communities also famously known in this area as the Hollywood Hills. Both cities were established with many picturesque, open ranch style homes, which is reflected in the equestrian-related street names you’ll encounter in Studio City and Sherman Oaks. The streets comprise a combination of hilly topography and flatland--in relation to how close one is to the Santa Monica Mountains themselves. One of the best historical books written about these Los Angeles areas is called, Studio City--A Mile of Style: What's History What's Gossip by Joann R. Deutch.

More often than not, it’s quite common to see a well-known actor or actress walking down the aisles of Whole Foods on Coldwater Canyon while doing their shopping. Many television shows have been shot in and around these two neighborhoods in particular, and Studio City was actually named after the movie studio lot that is now CBS Studios on Radford Street. The studio was previously called Republic Studios, which produced many “B” Westerns, and was founded by Mack Sennett, a silent film producer.

Charming yet sophisticated, both of these neighborhoods provide the perfect solitude from the big city with large, mature trees and an eclectic blend of architectural styles. The higher your home resides on the hill, the more expansive views of the San Fernando Valley you get to call your own. With nearby glittering city lights and native Southern California foliage, there are truly some spectacular views in these parts.
