What neighbors are saying
“From early marriage, working years, raising a child, retiring and becoming grandparents in Sherman Oaks, Sherman Oaks has evolved throughout those years to meet our ever-changing tastes and needs. ”
“We love living in our Sherman Oaks neighborhood, which we’ve lived in since 1990, because it’s so close and accessible to everything! We are walking distance to great restaurants, 2 neighborhood parks and a great mall plus we are centrally located to different parts of the city. We have easy access to most fwys and canyons. It’s the perfect place to live!”
Sherman Oaks History
Roots can be traced to 1927 when General Moses Hazeltine Sherman subdivided and developed his land. The area initially grew as film studios expanded into the San Fernando Valley in the 1920s and 1930s but development exploded during the San Fernando Valley’s post World War II housing boom.
Many believe the area’s most famous landmark is the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Located at Sepulveda and Ventura, a former version of the mall was once symbiotic with 80’s teenage mall culture. The mall is where Fast Times at Ridgemont High was filmed, and is believed to have provided some of the inspiration behind Frank Zappa’s song Valley Girl.
Locals have discovered that this upscale community - with its’ rich history - has much to offer residents and visitors.
