Studio City Local News
The Rich Group Loves Studio City - Tuesday December 15th, 2009 7:04pm
Studio City is and will forever be the Beverly Hills of the San Fernando Valley.
No matter what the rest of the California real estate market might look like, Studio City is always a choice for buyers because this small city is elegant without being pretentious. For example there are many intimate restaurants and boutiques with personable service and an international flair, excellent schools, and beautiful homes which all make Studio City a very desirable location in which to take root for both families and the Jet Set.
Gourmet eateries and grocers such as Whole Foods (www.wholefoods.com) and Artesian Cheese Gallery (http://artisancheesegallery.com) allow the Pampered Chef (www.pamperedchef.biz/richlifecuisine) in us all to grow and enjoy worldly tastes right here in our little city. A gourmet farmers market is held every Sunday from 8am to 1pm on Ventura Place (connecting Laurel Canyon and Ventura boulevards). The street is blocked off to vehicular traffic so families can roam freely, enjoying not only international organic produce but also a petting zoo, a train ride and the ever popular pony rides.
Parents in Studio City enjoy the confidence that their children are being trained by excellent teachers. Greatschools.com gave Studio City a 10-out-of-10 rating based on test results (http://www.greatschools.net/california/studio-city/) and there is a wide range of magnet, public, and private schools to choose from.
This range and variety of resources is why residents of Studio City can find anything and everything their little hearts desire right in their close-knit neighborhood. This means, of course, that home prices are still at a prime, though for what you're getting, for the "location, location, location," and with our help they can also be affordable.
The Rich Group has been working real estate in Studio City for more than 25 years and we'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the area, the homes, or why we love it here so much!
Sincerely,
Anita Rich of The Rich Group
