About Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks represents the San Fernando Valley's most prestigious neighborhood south of the boulevard, offering upscale living along Ventura Boulevard's restaurant row and in the hillside areas climbing toward Mulholland Drive. This family-friendly community attracts entertainment industry professionals who appreciate the short commute to studios in Burbank and Universal City while enjoying excellent schools and a more spacious suburban lifestyle than the Westside provides.
The Sherman Oaks condo market includes options along Ventura Boulevard with walkable access to acclaimed restaurants and shops, as well as quieter units in residential areas. South of the Boulevard properties command premium prices for their hillside settings and occasional city views. The Galleria mall area provides additional retail options and condo developments.
Sherman Oaks consistently ranks among the Valley's most desirable neighborhoods, with strong schools, low crime, and beautiful tree-lined streets. The community attracts families, industry professionals, and those seeking suburban quality with urban accessibility. While summer temperatures exceed coastal areas, Sherman Oaks offers a lifestyle that many find superior to Westside congestion.
