Tarzana occupies an interesting and appealing niche in the Valley real estate market: large lots, quiet streets, good schools, and a relaxed suburban character — all at price points that continue to offer genuine value relative to neighboring Encino and Woodland Hills. The community was named after Edgar Rice Burroughs, who established his ranch here in 1919 (the same Burroughs who created Tarzan — hence the name). Today, Tarzana is a multicultural, family-oriented community with a strong Persian-American community presence and a growing reputation for excellent local dining. The Ventura Boulevard corridor here has expanded dramatically in recent years with new restaurants and businesses serving the community.

• Price Range: $500K (condos) – $3.5M+ (hillside estates)
• Property Types: Ranch-style, traditional, Spanish, contemporary; hillside homes; condos

Tarzana is multicultural and family-focused. The community has a significant and well-established Persian-American population, with excellent Persian dining along Ventura Boulevard. Families are drawn by relatively larger lots, good school options, and a quieter pace compared to more urban Valley communities.
