Sitting in the northwestern portion of the San Fernando Valley, North Ridge, California is a beautiful Los Angeles community, rich in history. Northridge real estate was once primarily agricultural with wheat farms and citrus groves. Many of the properties on the hills were then purchased by movie stars for horse ranches and large estates away from the bustle of Hollywood. In the 1960’s real estate developers divided up much of the Northridge land into the Porter Ranch Estates and commercial properties. The homes up on the hills featured privacy and amazing views of the mountains and San Fernando Valley. Now Northridge is a mix of older and new homes ranging widely in size, price and style. Prospective home buyers can now find condos, town houses, ranches, estate homes on the hills and typical single family homes for sale. The neighboring Santa Susana Mountains provide spectacular scenic views across the community, making Northridge real estate a great investment.

Northridge homes are mixed in with beautiful terrain and prosperous commercial properties. The Northridge Fashion Center is a large shopping mall that provides home owners with all of their shopping needs right in the community. The California State University of Northridge (CSUN) provides home owners with numerous employment opportunities as well as cultural and educational opportunities. Northridge residents can enjoy the natural beauty of the San Fernando Valley by spending the day at Northridge Park or the California State University, Northridge Botanic Garden.

Northridge home owners can easily take a short drive to spend the day at one of the many beautiful Los Angeles County beaches soaking up the Southern California sun. Downtown LA also provides an endless array of shopping, dining, cultural, historical, entertaining and recreational attractions. Many Northridge home owners commute to work in the numerous business parks across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. Northridge real estate is great for buying a home in Los Angeles, California that is far enough away from downtown but also has numerous convenient amenities.
