Burbank is located between Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley — just “over the hill” as local say — and is home to some of L.A.’s most charming suburbs and its highest concentration of studios.

Exposition Park is a main cultural hub for the L.A. area located south of downtown Los Angeles. It encompasses over 160 acres of world-class museums, recreational areas and sports facilities, as well as a beautiful rose garden that attracts large crowds.

Culver City is quickly becoming one of the hippest and trendy neighborhoods in West L.A., because of the rise of tech in nearby “Silicon Beach.” These include fast-growing tech hubs like Playa Vista, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo and Culver City itself.

Travel 20 miles northeast of UCLA and you’ll find Glendale, one of L.A.’s largest and fastest-growing cities. Glendale is a mix of suburbia and a thriving downtown shopping, entertainment and dining district with Brand Boulevard being its main thoroughfare.

When you’re in the San Fernando Valley, you’re in an area that’s part residential, part business, and always interesting. It’s 30 minutes from UCLA to get to the heart of what the locals famously call “the valley.”
