North Hollywood Overview

Being in North Hollywood is about doing your own thing. North Hollywood defines the famous San Fernando Valley with its eclectic and quiet residential neighborhoods, delightfully unusual arts district, cultural diversity, and vibrant entertainment and nightlife. Affectionately nicknamed NoHo, the little community of 64,587 people is populated by long-time residents and continually arriving actors, musicians, filmmakers, and artists. It is a thriving creative community. NoHo is known throughout LA metro for its art scene. New playhouses, other popular performance venues, unforgettable art galleries, and unique shops draw locals and tourists daily to stroll the town center and enjoy the delectable food for which North Hollywood is also famous. Trendy eateries, vintage pubs and clubs, and craft beer bars are abundant. NoHo is an inspiring environment for artists, aspiring performers, and people ready for a different way of urban life. 

What is the history of North Hollywood?

From farm to fame – grit to glamour – North Hollywood has well earned its creative edge. Thousands of years ago, the Tongva Indians settled the area where North Hollywood would ultimately emerge. In 1542, Spanish explorers claimed the region, but the San Fernando Valley was not settled by Europeans until much later. Toluca, eventually renamed Lankershim, was established in the late 1800s as a farming community, yielding wheat and other crops. In 1927, it was renamed North Hollywood. WWII airfields dominated the valley and later became veterans’ housing, generating rapid population growth. Ultimately, a creative culture developed, and the NoHo Arts District was born, featuring hip theaters, galleries, shops, cafés, etc. North Hollywood transformed from a nondescript appendage of LA to an alluring cultural attractor. Ultimately, the world’s largest movie production company, Universal Studios, made its home in North Hollywood. CBS Studio Center is here too. The little city of NoHo has evolved a distinctive local culture beloved by southern Californians and all who come here.

How is the weather in North Hollywood?

Here’s something to relocate for: subtle seasonal variance for a virtually perfect climate. There are only maybe a dozen days a year that you can’t daydream under a clear blue sky in the San Fernando Valley. As for temperatures, be ready to be perpetually happy with those: The January average high is around 68° and the low is about 44°, February 69° and 45°, March 71° and 48°, April 74°/51°, May 77°/56°, June 82°/60°, July 89°/64°, August 90°/64°, September 88°/62°, October 81°/56°, November 74°/48°, and December 68°/43°. Yes, it’s like that! Hence, all the songs involving California sun, sunglasses, tans, etc. You can pick any outdoor pastimes imaginable and pursue them year-round here in the valley.

How do I get around town?

"Getting around in NoHo is part of the fun. Cruise Ventura Boulevard, just because you can.  The NoHo Arts District has a high concentration of small businesses and is very walkable. However, much of North Hollywood is better enjoyed by car or other motorized transportation. That’s because of the urban sprawl that characterizes the layout of the town. The streets are wide and designed to accommodate heavy vehicle traffic, so foot crossing is not great. There’s not much infrastructure for convenient walking, and many sidewalks are unfinished or not really maintained. But, bicycle and scooter rental stands are everywhere you look. The Metro Red Line serves North Hollywood and runs throughout other areas of LA County. There’s access in North Hollywood to the greater Los Angeles subway service and broader coverage of the metro rail system. North Hollywood/Burbank Metro Micro bus service zones cover the valley. Plus, Lyft and Uber ubiquitously run throughout the northern municipalities. Taxis are a comparatively pricey option. "

What is the North Hollywood commute like?

"Timeless songs have been sung about Southern California roadways. Are they worth it? Ventura Boulevard has carried through the generations so much more than its daily traffic load. It has sort of transported the world of distant dreamers to the California they imagine. In reality, it’s an 18-mile route running east/west from Studio City, through Encino, Thousand Oaks, and Tarzana, to Studio City. So, it really is a tour through the land of the great enduring everyday culture of the Hollywood periphery — and that decidedly merits musing about. Alternatively, the Ventura Freeway (US101) runs west from Pasadena through southern North Hollywood, to Thousand Oaks, and beyond. I5 runs through Burbank to points north. 170 defines the west edge of North Hollywood as it runs north to Sun Valley and south to downtown LA. 101 runs to Ventura, and from there, north along the coast. It becomes 134 along the south side of North Hollywood, running east to Pasadena. If you want to fly over someplace, there’s the Hollywood/Burbank Airport for domestic flights and, of course, LAX for international flights."

Why live in North Hollywood, CA?

"Come to southern California for inspiration. Come to North Hollywood to follow through on it. There’s a universal mystique about living in Southern California. For perhaps billions across the world in every generation, the prospect epitomizes the good life. But, what’s it really like here? Well, it’s great actually, complete with a lot of that magical quality countless newcomers have craved. It’s hard to beat the weather here, the pristine beaches, the glorious Sierra Nevada mountains, the moving desert serenity. It’s a life of sunny days. Of course, people still need to work and pay bills here. Fortunately, there are abundant job opportunities in LA metro and reasonable rates for North Hollywood rentals. There’s also objectively endless fun to be had here. North Hollywood is popular with renters because its relatively affordable and has so much to offer in culture, entertainment, nightlife, and convenience. It’s a few minutes from Hollywood and Burbank, and not much farther to downtown LA. There are abundant work, shopping, dining, and entertainment options, and good schools and historic sites. There’s everything to like and it’s warm year-round."

What North Hollywood landmarks should I see?

"North Hollywood is a treasure trove of Hollywood and Los Angeles historical sites. Think entertainment. That is the theme of the North Hollywood and Burbank landmark environment, from the sound studios to the Academy of TV Arts and Sciences, to the famous El Portal Theater. Check out Phil’s Diner, the Idle Hour Cafe, and the Lankershim Train Depot. Stop in and take a beverage break at any of the retro bars and lounges of the NoHo Arts District. Of course, don’t forget the Universal Studios and CBS complexes, and the other local institutions at the entertainment center of the western world."

What is there to do around North Hollywood?

Los Angeles is the world’s top entertainment destination. North Hollywood is an integral part of that vast local enterprise. That environment generates a lot of things to do. There’s no end to the shows of any genre you like. For just a few examples in North Hollywood, there’s the Victory Theater, The Road Theater, the Sherry Theater, the Whitmore Lindley Theater Center, the Brickhouse Theatre, the Loft Ensemble, Group Rep at the Lonny Chapman Theater, Zombie Joe’s Underground Theater, and the list goes on. The acclaimed NoHo Lit Crawl symposium of renowned writers from Literary Los Angeles is in NoHo. The list of worthy art galleries to peruse is spectacular. Get out of town and stroll along the nearby La Tuna Canyon Park trails. For delectable North Hollywood cuisine, on Ventura, try Bacari Sherman Oaks, The Front Yard, Casalena, the Six Social House, Fuego Bar & Grill, Firefly, and numerous other scrumptious restaurants. Play every conceivable outdoor sport, and do every possible recreational activity. Or, pick a tranquil lounging spot and just enjoy your downtime. At some point, explore the incomprehensible wonders of the natural environment that surrounds you. For example, head west for a road trip through Calabasas to ride the Pacific Coast Highway, or venture up, up, up into the meadows and giant forests of the Sierra Nevadas, or east into one of the earth’s most gorgeous desert-scapes.

Where is the best place to move in North Hollywood?

"There’s a place for you in North Hollywood rentals. Just pick your price range and settle in. North Hollywood Northeast is one of the most affordable neighborhoods in this area of northwestern LA metro. Among its most expensive is Greater Toluca Lake. In between, price-wise, are Mid-Town North Hollywood and North Hollywood West. These offer North Hollywood rental homes at higher rates than the Northeast sector and lower than the lake area. A little farther west, Van Nuys offers a sort of extension of the North Hollywood vibe with a little slower pace. Alternatively, if you can find an available rental near the NoHo Arts District, you can live at the center of the North Hollywood scene. Valley Village, Valley Glen, and Universal City are also popular NoHo neighborhoods offering reasonable rental rates."
