Woodland Hills Apartments and Rentals

The Los Angeles district of Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley was once home to large family landholders, including Harry Warner of Warner Brother Pictures. He originally acquired land to breed thoroughbred horses, and eventually owned 1,100 acres. When Warner sold most of his real estate holdings in the 1980s, numerous large corporations took advantage of the space available in the master planned business development that was to become Warner Center, dramatically changing the Woodland Hills landscape and local economy.
