San Fernando Overview

San Fernando is a northeastern suburb of Los Angeles with a population of just over 24,000 people. It's large enough to have the amenities that makes life great, yet small enough that you can get to know your neighbors and bond with the community. You'll find that apartments in San Fernando deliver a quality of life that's hard to achieve elsewhere. Los Angeles, the Angeles National Forest, and the public beaches are a short distance away and makes it easy to find recreational activities at a moment's notice. San Fernando is full of family-owned businesses with unique offerings, quirky boutiques, and stores that carry the daily needs of life within a short distance of your apartment building. There's also a strong cultural scene in and around San Fernando in terms of the performing arts, outdoor murals, musical events and more. In short, there's a lot to love about apartment life in San Fernando. 

What is the history of San Fernando?

"San Fernando is the oldest city in the San Fernando Valley from which it gets its name. It was founded in 1874 and carries the nickname of ""The Mission City"" due to it being near the San Fernando Mission that was established in 1797. Over time, the land around the San Fernando Mission gave way to development by settlers who arrived to farm the land. The Southern Pacific Railroad built a rail line between Los Angeles and Bakersfield and included a stop in San Fernando. In the early 1910s, a syndicate known as the Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company established the Southern San Fernando Valley electric railway in order to spur residential and agricultural growth in the area. The syndicate was dramatized for the movie Chinatown. "

How is the weather in San Fernando?

The climate in San Fernando is frequently described as Mediterranean-like due to its subtropical weather patterns. The summers are dry and the winters are wet with plenty of rainfall. During the summer, the heat doesn't really kick in until around the summer solstice, or June 21. Temperatures cool off to the 60s during the day and 50s overnight during the fall and keep sliding down the mercury until just after Christmas. The heat starts climbing quickly after the New Year with the average daily high coming in at 69 degrees by the middle of March. Temperatures reach the 70s by the end of April and keep rising as summer comes in. The wettest time of year begins towards the end of November and fades out at the end of March, making the spring, summer and part of fall a dry climate.

How do I get around town?

What is the San Fernando commute like?

San Fernando is well-served by major highways including the I-5, 210, 405, 118 and 170.

It's about 22 miles to Los Angeles, but traffic in the area is unpredictable and you can wind up in a traffic jam with no warning. You may want to rent an apartment in San Fernando that's closer to public transportation and avoid driving your car whenever possible.

What San Fernando landmarks should I see?

The Lopez Adobe is owned by the city of San Fernando and is open once a month for tours. Aliso Canyon Park is operated by the Recreation and Parks Department of Los Angeles, but the northern end is close to San Fernando and contains a beautiful valley.

Any annual festivals or San Fernando events to know?

In fact, tour buses come through the town for a tour of the displays. Once Halloween ends, Christmas displays go up and people have another reason to explore San Fernando during the holiday season. San Fernando itself doesn't have much in the way of annual festivals, but towns in and around the San Fernando Valley feature a variety of festivals that are a short drive away from town. 

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is full of campsites that offer basic amenities and make for a perfect place to explore the beauty of the forests along the Pacific Ocean. Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, traverses along the edge of California and ends to the north of San Francisco. It offers an opportunity to view the scenery and spend some time exploring San Francisco. Last, but not least, Las Vegas is a six-hour drive to the east and makes for a great weekend getaway. 

Where is the best place to move in San Fernando?
