Location in Los Angeles |
Sherman Oaks is a district of the California metropolis Los Angeles and is located in the south of the San Fernando Valley . The area is urban , with a mix of suburban living space, schools and communities, shops and high-rise office buildings.
geography
Sherman Oaks is bordered to the north by Van Nuys and Valley Glen , to the east by Valley Village and Studio City , to the south by Beverly Crest and Bel Air , to the west by Encino and the Sepulveda Basin . It extends from Mulholland Drive along Van Nuys Boulevard over the Los Angeles River to Burbank Boulevard.
history
The construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913 to supply the growing city with drinking water ensured an economic boom along the route. In anticipation of this development, property speculation began in 1910 , in which the small community participated early on. In 1911 General Moses Hazeltine Sherman acquired 1,000 acres (about 4 km²), which he parceled out and sold for a profit in 1927.
Demographics
Sherman Oaks is home to 73.8% White, 11.8% Latinos , 5.7% Asian, 4.4% African American, and 4.4% other. The median age is 27 and the median income is $ 69,651 (as of 2000 Census).
architecture
In terms of residential architecture, Sherman Oaks is divided. While the northern part is dominated by rental apartments, in the southern part in the hills of the Santa Monica Mountains you can find expensive villas and houses of the rich and famous. Ventura Boulevard is the informal border . In the hills there are buildings that were designed by architects such as Rudolph Schindler and John Lautner . Worth mentioning is the Platform House Historic District, built by Richard Neutra between 1962 and 1966 near Mulholland Drive .
The best-known example of utility architecture on Ventura Boulevard is the Sherman Oaks Galleria , originally conceived as a mall , which was the location for films and was mentioned in Frank Zappa's song Valley Girl .
The facade of the La Reina cinema , one of the first cinema buildings in the San Fernando Valley, was built in the Art Deco style . It has been part of a shopping arcade on Ventura Boulevard since the 1980s.
The car salesman Casa de Cadillac on Ventura Boulevard, planned and constructed by Randall Duell and Phillip A. Conklin in 1949, is one of the most distinctive buildings in the San Fernando Valley . Corky's restaurant on Van Nuys Boulevard, which closed in 2019, was a restaurant in operation since 1958. The building is a representative of the Googie- style architecture.
An example of early Googie architecture in Sherman Oaks is the 1953 Mel's Drive Inn on Ventura Boulevard.
The former headquarters of Sunkist, built in 1970 at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Hazeltine Avenue , is strongly brutal .

This park has an impressive view of the San Fernando Valley. A little further east near the intersection of Mulholland Drive and Beverly Glenn is Fossile Ridge Park , which was donated after a legal dispute in the city and inaugurated in 1991. The park is difficult to get to. Another park in the Santa Monica Mountains is the relatively small Dixie Canyon Park , the area of which was donated by Warren Beatty in 1986 .
