Walnut Acres

Walnut Acres: World Class Luxury Living

Walnut Acres is a prestigious area in Woodland Hills comprised of  large estate homes and ranches. An enclave of homes developed in the 1940s and 1950’s on agrarian-zoned parcels, properties in Walnut Acres average about 1-2 acres in size, allowing many of its residents to keep horses, various animals, and fruit trees at their estates. This unique quality is very rare in Woodland Hills and in most towns within the San Fernando Valley.

Historically, Walnut Acres was originally derived from an orchard where The Diamond Walnut Company grew their walnuts.

The area falls roughly between Victory Boulevard, Burbank Boulevard, and the Arroyo Calabasas. Over the years most of the parcels have been subdivided, but they are still generous lots.

The People and Lifestyle

The houses are custom designed and upscale where residents enjoy a quality lifestyle and can be found hosting many community block parties. There is a strong sense of community pride in Walnut Acres which is reflected in the property values. These equestrian properties range from custom builds to California Ranch styled homes with on site recreation ranging from sports courts, pools, and guest homes. There is no surprise that the prestigious living of Walnut Acres has attracted many residents in Los Angeles as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Woodland Hills.

The Oaks at Lakeside, located at 16817 Ventura Boulevard in Encino, boasts one of the most beautiful settings in all of California, with a gorgeous, serene lake just off the property filled with families of ducks and geese. Today, the restaurant includes the original nine-room de la Ossa Adobe, the two-story limestone Garnier building, a blacksmith shop, a natural spring and pond – fascinatingly enough, in 1949, the 4.7-acre site was designated a California State Park.
