Burbank has been a part of the American consciousness since the words "beautiful Downtown Burbank" were uttered in The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Nicely tucked in the eastern region of the San Fernando Valley, north of Downtown Los Angeles, Burbank is an upper-middle class neighborhood, popular among employees of movie and television studios located in the area. Burbank is home to such entertainment giants as The Walt Disney Company, Nickelodeon, NBC Universal, and Warner Bros. Entertainment. Named the Media Capital of the World, entertainment has replaced the WW II-born defense industry as the major industry in Burbank in recent years, thanks in part to the numerous attractive features of the city. One such attractive feature is its proximity to Hollywood. A mere 10-minute drive away from Burbank are the trendy clubs and hip restaurants of Hollywood. It's like sharing the same backyard as those stars living in Beverly Hills. What's more, with all the major freeways close by, getting around the Los Angeles area is a cinch. With the Ventura Freeway connecting Burbank to Route 101, the Southern California freeways are easily accessible to residents.
Another major reason why Burbank real estate is in such high demand is because Burbank has its own airport, the Bob Hope Airport, which services more than 70 flights daily on 7 major carriers. This allows major businesses to fly to and from Los Angeles with convenience.
But other than accessibility, Burbank real estate is appealing to investors and buyers alike for its small-town charms. It's close enough to Hollywood to be glamorous, but far enough to be a world of its own, tranquil and down to earth. Thus, when a piece of Burbank real estate is put up for sale, it doesn't stay long on the market before it's snapped up. To stay on top, it's best to consult early on with Burbank asset management services which will provide potential buyers and investors with all the information they need regarding specific residential and commercial properties in this ideal location.
Residents of Burbank, which include many movie and TV personalities, enjoy the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, Bob's Big Boy Restaurant (the oldest remaining Bob's Big Boy in the US), and the Starlight Bowl. There are numerous shopping and dining opportunities at Burbank, including the well-loved "Burbank Village" shopping district, theatres, libraries and parks.
With its own school district, Burbank residents also gain an educational advantage due to the presence of quite a few California Distinguished Schools in the city. The city's students in both public and private schools consistently score higher than average state and national test scores. This is one of the many reasons why Burbank has been, and continues to be, one of the best places to live and raise a family in.
Various developmental and residential projects implemented throughout the city have further improved the quality of Burbank real estate, and the residents' quality of living as a whole. A "Senior Artists Colony," for example, has recently been completed on the corner of the San Fernando and Verdugo Blvds. Designed specifically for seniors interested in the arts, the 141-unit housing facility has studio spaces and performance areas in addition to the usual game room and library.
Despite the high demand for Burbank real estate, however, pricing for single family homes, condos, and townhouses remains on an affordable, median level. This city has a lot to offer.
