Welcome to Studio City

A compelling blur of quaint and trendy, little has changed in this San Fernando Valley neighborhood since Mack Sennett began building what is now CBS Studios in 1927. Offering a small selection of hip boutiques, eateries, and nightlife spots, Studio City’s true appeal is revealed in its tree-lined streets and beautiful Santa Monica foothill scenery.

Around the Block

Studio city:
Studio City is a hub of mid-century architecture, and its many post-WWII buildings have been beautifully kept up.

Pay a visit to the Laurelwood Apartments and the Goodwin House, both are the work of Rudolph Schindler, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The stretch of Valley Vista west of Radford Avenue is home to a number of impressive mid-century apartments.

What to expect:
An intriguing mix of old and new.

Studio City has a small town feel—trees line the streets, people greet one another, and everyone shops local. But it also supports a number of hip eateries and boutiques. Just stroll through Tujunga Village for a wonderfully varied shopping and dining experience: grab breakfast at Aroma Coffee and Tea Company, peruse the antiques at Elizabeth’s Place, then grab dinner and see a jazz performance at Italian restaurant Vitello’s.

The lifestyle:
Mellow, quiet, and surprisingly hip.

Perhaps it’s the influx of celebrities that keeps Studio City on its toes, but the mix of independent boutiques and delicious eateries among the neighborhood’s old-school mom-and-pop establishments give this area a fresh, not stodgy, sensibility.
