Burbank

Burbank is where Hollywood actually goes to work. While tourists flock to Hollywood Boulevard for stars on the sidewalk, the real magic happens here in Burbank’s legendary studios. Warner Bros, Disney, Nickelodeon, and dozens of production companies call this city home, creating an energy that’s creative, industrious, and surprisingly down-to-earth.

But here’s the beautiful secret about Burbank—it’s not all about the entertainment industry. This is one of the most livable cities in all of Southern California, with a small-town feel that somehow coexists with big-city amenities. Downtown Burbank (especially the Magnolia Park district) serves up vintage shops, gastropubs, and that rare commodity in LA: easy parking. San Fernando Boulevard offers everything from classic diners to trendy breweries, and the Burbank Town Center keeps your shopping needs covered.

The residential neighborhoods here are absolutely charming, with well-maintained homes ranging from classic California bungalows to newer developments that blend modern style with traditional comfort. Families choose Burbank for the schools, the safety, and the genuine sense of community. You’ll find kids playing street hockey at dusk and block parties that people actually attend. The parks are clean and well-used, with Stough Canyon and Wildwood Canyon offering hiking trails that showcase stunning valley views.

Bob Hope Airport (yes, Burbank’s very own airport) means you can be curbside to gate in about 15 minutes—a game-changer if you travel frequently. And the location? You’re perfectly positioned between Downtown LA, Pasadena, and the Valley, with mountain views that remind you why California living is worth every penny.
