Encino
Welcome to Encino, where that perfect Southern California lifestyle isn’t just a dream—it’s your Tuesday afternoon. Tucked into the San Fernando Valley, this gem of a neighborhood has mastered the art of being fancy without being fussy. You know what I mean? It’s the kind of place where you can grab phenomenal sushi for lunch, then hike the Santa Monica Mountains before dinner.
The streets here are lined with mature trees that actually provide shade (a rare luxury in LA), and the homes? They range from charming mid-century ranches to stunning modern estates that would make your Instagram followers incredibly jealous. Ventura Boulevard runs right through the heart of Encino, serving up everything from boutique shopping to some of the best restaurants in the Valley. We’re talking farm-to-table bistros, authentic Italian trattorias, and brunch spots that are worth the weekend wait.
Families absolutely thrive here because the schools are top-notch—both public and private options that parents genuinely get excited about. Lake Balboa Park and the Los Encinos State Historic Park give you gorgeous outdoor spaces where kids can actually be kids. Plus, you’re close enough to Hollywood and Downtown LA that commuting doesn’t eat your whole life, but far enough away that you can actually hear yourself think at night.
The real estate market here offers something for everyone, whether you’re hunting for your first starter home or ready to invest in that dream property you’ve been pinning on Pinterest for years. And let’s be honest—being able to say you live in Encino just sounds good.

Fun To Know
The Jackson family—yes, THAT Jackson family including Michael and Janet—called Encino home at their famous Hayvenhurst estate. The property became legendary in pop music history, and while it’s private now, it’s still a major point of pride for longtime Encino residents who remember seeing the family around the neighborhood!
