Studio City has long been one of LA’s most sought-after neighborhoods for good reason: walkable streets, canyon views, great schools, and a surprising amount of charm for an area that sits just over the hill from Hollywood. But what can you actually buy here—and how far does your money go?
We broke it down by price point:
At $1M: Charming Starter Homes or Small Condos
Likely a 2BR/1BA or small 3BR/2BA around 1,000–1,300 sq ft
Traditional bungalows or postwar homes, often updated
Some units in gated communities or small complexes
Walkable to Ventura Blvd, but usually not in the hills
Example: Updated mid-century 2BR near Laurel Canyon—1,150 sq ft with original hardwoods and modern kitchen.
At $2M: Updated Homes with a Yard, Some Mid-Century Gems
3–4 bedrooms, 1,800–2,500 sq ft
More architectural options: mid-century moderns, classic ranch homes, newer construction
Often with a pool or large yard
Closer to Fryman Canyon, sometimes in coveted school districts
Example: 1960s hillside modern with walls of glass, pool, and outdoor entertaining space near Carpenter Charter.
At $3M+: Luxe Living and Canyon Views
4–5+ bedrooms, 3,000+ sq ft
Gated estates, newer builds, designer renovations
Prime Studio City hills with sweeping views and privacy
Often owned by industry insiders or creatives who value proximity to the studios
Example: Sleek architectural with glass walls, infinity pool, and outdoor kitchen—moments from Mulholland.
