    "Tarzana is a nice town hidden between the bigger known names such as Woodland Hills and Encinitas but still has great views and walkable streets and still keeps the suburban feel "

    "I think it is important for parents to know that Encino is a very nice place to live , but it also requires diligence to keep it this way as every part of LA has the potential for “petty crime” and issues with the homeless, so it takes a community to solve these issues that do sometimes appear in Encino.

    "Varied cultures, very walkable and great hikes up in the hills. I do feel safe here, homeless population is growing and I wish I could do more to help. Single mum raiding two kids is no easy task that’s for sure.. I’d love more community here."

    "Almost all neighbors have dogs. The barking is beneficial and never any issues too early or too late. Dogs are often walked along these streets, the occasional coyote and raccoons and thieving squirrels that no dog can apparently scare- the coyote issue is rare, i believe most of us haze if we find but they are often too fast, and since displaced by fires and during mating season more are around so people do need to beware at all hours."
