About Burbank
Burbank is the entertainment industry's hometown, hosting Warner Bros, Disney, Nickelodeon, and countless production facilities that make it the "Media Capital of the World." This working-class-turned-professional community offers a refreshingly down-to-earth alternative to the Westside, with tree-lined residential streets, excellent city services, and a genuine small-town atmosphere despite its entertainment industry identity. The revitalized downtown area, centered on San Fernando Boulevard, provides walkable dining, shopping, and nightlife.
The Burbank condo market serves entertainment industry workers seeking proximity to major studios, families attracted to excellent schools, and value-conscious buyers priced out of more expensive areas. Downtown Burbank condos offer walkable urban lifestyle with restaurants, AMC Theatre, and local businesses. The Media District near the studios attracts industry workers, while residential areas like the Rancho and Magnolia Park neighborhoods provide quieter settings.
Burbank's practical advantages extend beyond employment proximity. Bob Hope Airport offers commercial flights without LAX hassle. The city maintains its own power and water utilities with excellent reliability. Parks and recreational facilities serve residents well. The Burbank Unified School District, separate from LAUSD, provides quality education. For entertainment industry professionals and others seeking suburban quality near major employment centers, Burbank delivers value and lifestyle.
