Welcome to the San Fernando Valley – known as the world’s entertainment center, the San Fernando Valley combines rich cultural heritage with small town charm & big city lifestyles.We have compiled a Printable Welcome Packet full of useful information, regarding the The Newporter Apartments neighborhood, for our new residents.
The Valley is also a hub in the state of California with the I-405 (San Diego Freeway), US 101 (Ventura Freeway), SR 170 (Hollywood Freeway), SR 118 (Ronald Regan Freeway), and I -5 (Golden State Freeway) all intersecting here. This makes the region a prime location for business, residents, and visitors.
Also abundant are a variety of shopping experiences from major malls to small boutiques. The Valley is a wonderful artistic community featuring theatre, music & dance, live concerts in the park, as well as an array of restaurants for all tastes and budgets. There is something for everyone.
Our city is named after the unforgettable character – “Tarzan of the Apes” and is a tribute to an even more unforgettable creator – Edgar Rice Burroughs. In the early 20’s Burroughs relocated to Southern California and started writing novels. His “Tarzan of the Apes” novel became so successful in 1919 he was able to purchase a large ranch north of Los Angeles and he named it Tarzana. Residents of this community have many options for entertainment such as Lake Balboa, a recreational park with activities that include fishing, boating and jogging/ walking. Also, nestled in the mountains is the very beautiful Braemar Country Club with a 36-hole golf course, tennis, swimming and fine dining. Residents of our West Valley community can enjoy terrific shops, markets and restaurants along Ventura Boulevard. The 405 (San Diego Freeway) and the 101 (Ventura Freeway) and the Orange Metro Line are easily accessible.
