A little history
Founded in the 1910s as part of the region's citrus boom, Canoga Park later became a hub for aerospace manufacturing before transitioning to its current mixed residential-commercial character.
Living here
Residents value affordability, diversity, and proximity to both Warner Center jobs and Topanga Canyon Blvd shopping just south in Woodland Hills.
Visiting for the first time
Walk the historic Sherman Way storefronts, then visit Orcutt Ranch's citrus groves for a quiet afternoon.
Just north of Warner Center
Canoga Park's affordability and historic Sherman Way corridor make it a natural spillover neighborhood for people priced out of Woodland Hills proper, while staying minutes from Westfield Topanga and Warner Center jobs.
