What it's like to live in Sylmar
Sylmar occupies the northeastern corner of the San Fernando Valley, where the flat valley floor starts climbing into the San Gabriel foothills. The name comes from the olive groves that covered these hills a century ago, and a few of the old trees are still standing along the older streets.
The housing
Sylmar is predominantly single-family, and one of the few places left in Los Angeles where a family can buy a detached house with a real yard without leaving the county. Housing runs from postwar tracts on the valley floor to larger lots as you climb toward the foothills, where you will find horse property — Sylmar keeps a genuine equestrian community, with zoning to match and riding trails into the Angeles National Forest.
Getting around
Three freeways meet here — the 5, the 210 and the 14 — which is why Sylmar works for households commuting in different directions, including north into Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley. The Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station runs into Burbank and Downtown Los Angeles.
Nearby
El Cariso Community Regional Park and Veterans Memorial Park anchor the local green space, and the Angeles National Forest begins at the top of the neighborhood. Discovery Cube Los Angeles and the Nethercutt Collection both sit in Sylmar, and the city of San Fernando is a few minutes south.
Schools
Attendance boundaries change, so check the specific address you are considering rather than relying on a neighborhood average.
