Studio City

Prior to the early 1920s, Studio City was used mainly for agricultural purposes, much like the rest of the valley. Studio City’s nature changed in the early 1920s. Shortly after the construction of the studios, the community received the valley’s first traffic light at Lankershim and Ventura Boulevard. The first airfield in the San Fernando Valley was constructed on land that is now the corner of Fulton and Ventura Blvd. Studio City was a creation of the movie industry.

One of Studio City’s first major facilities was known as Republic Pictures Studio. The studio changed both hands and names several times and gave some of the biggest stars in the business their start. Charles Chaplin, John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Bette Davis, Tony Curtis, Jennifer Jones and Joan Fontaine are just a few of the big names who learned the ropes in Studio City. Today the Republic site is called CBS Studio Center, where such popular TV shows as "Hill Street Blues," "Roseanne" and "Seinfeld" have been filmed.

The community today retains a boutique aura with its many artists, writers, movie-hopefuls, musicians, playhouses, antique stores and coffee shops. And thanks to its central location, all of Southern California’s amenities are close at hand including the beaches, mountains, Hollywood, Universal Studios, Disneyland and more.

Studio City is also a great place for outdoor lovers and their pets. Residents can share a walk with their canine friends through a lovely seven-mile stretch of hiking trails in the verdant 44-acre Coldwater Canyon Park. Also available is the city’s Laurel Canyon Dog Park – a well-maintained, three-acre off-leash facility for dogs and their owners.
