Welcome to your insider’s guide to Encino real estate—a premier neighborhood in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. Known for its luxury estates, tree-lined streets, and proximity to top L.A. destinations, Encino is a prime choice for discerning homebuyers.
Whether you’re looking for a private hillside property in Royal Oaks or a stylish modern home near Ventura Boulevard, Encino offers a blend of comfort, elegance, and accessibility.
For over a millennium, the area known as Encino was the home of a massive California live oak known as the Encino Oak Tree. It is possible that Encino is named because of this particular tree. (Encino is the Spanish word for “evergreen” or “holm oak.”) Today there is a monument to the great tree at the corner of Ventura Boulevard and Louise Avenue where the Encino Oak once stood.
Encino starts at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains, just north of Bel Air and Brentwood, with Sherman Oaks to the east, Reseda to the north, and Tarzana to the west. This is an inviting, settled community of quiet, almost rural, streets with upscale homes on generously sized lots. Encino has a small town feel where amenities are within walking distance.
