Living in Los Angeles & Surrounding Areas
Choosing a home is also choosing a lifestyle. Whether you picture weekend hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, dinner by the lake or a quiet street close to good schools, here's a look at the communities I serve and some local favorites in each.
Getting Around
- By car. The 101 Freeway runs through every community on this page, connecting the West Valley and Conejo Valley with the rest of Los Angeles.
- To the coast. Canyon roads such as Malibu Canyon and Kanan Road lead over the mountains to Malibu and the Pacific Coast Highway.
- By air. Hollywood Burbank Airport and LAX both serve the area.
