Sherman Oaks & Van Nuys

About Sherman Oaks & Van Nuys

Once covered in citrus groves, like much of the San Fernando Valley, Sherman Oaks became one of first commercially and residentially developed neighborhoods in the Valley. Its tree-lined streets, strong local business community, impressive biodiversity, and central location contribute to the neighborhood's vibrancy today.

Located centrally Council District 4's stretch of the San Fernando Valley, Sherman Oaks is a neighborhood with notable spaces that all can enjoy, including the famed Castle Park's mini golf and batting cages, shopping and dining along Ventura Boulevard, and a wide swath of the Santa Monica Mountains.

North of Sherman Oaks lies Van Nuys, a civic and commercial hub in the heart of the Valley. Van Nuys offers vibrant outdoor green space, an eclectic mix of longtime and innovative new dining options, convenient transportation, notable education and technical training, and living history like the Van Nuys' Woman's Club.
