WEST HILLS

Part residential, part commercial, West Hills was established in 1987 when it separated from Canoga Park. You may see a few “Just Married” cars coming from Orcutt Ranch Estate, an L.A. Historic-Cultural Monument, and home to citrus orchards, community gardens, and yes, picturesque garden wedding facilities. There’s no lack of open-space parks for residents to enjoy the warm Mediterranean weather. El Escorpión Park will reward hikers with impressive vistas of the valley, and Roscoe/Valley Circle is where you and your horse can take in panoramic views in a rustic setting. If you’re more about evening shenanigans, then dive into the Rabbit Hole, an Alice in Wonderland themed hangout.

Take your pick from fifteen public, private and charter schools in the area, and another six adjacent ones, including El Camino Real High, Academic Decathlon winners with a Model United Nations, and a special place in the heart of graduates America Ferrera.
