A little history
Named for Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, who once owned a ranch here, Tarzana developed alongside Woodland Hills as part of the broader post-war Ventura Blvd corridor boom.
Living here
Residents enjoy the same walkable Ventura Blvd amenities as South Woodland Hills, with a slightly quieter, more residential feel.
Visiting for the first time
Continue west along Ventura Blvd from Woodland Hills for more restaurants and boutiques — the boundary between the two is seamless on foot.
An extension of Ventura Blvd life
Tarzana's stretch of Ventura Blvd flows directly into Woodland Hills's restaurant row, making the two neighborhoods feel like one continuous strip for dining and shopping, even though they sit in different ZIP codes.
