About the Neighborhood
Sun Valley is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California.
It is bordered by Burbank in the east, Shadow Hills on the north, Panorama City in the west, Pacoima to the northwest, and North Hollywood in the south. The district is served by the Golden State and Hollywood freeways. Major thoroughfares include San Fernando Road, Laurel Canyon and Roscoe Boulevards, and Vineland and Tujunga Avenues.
Located at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, Sun Valley is notably prone to flash floods, and one such flood in early 2005 destroyed much of Tujunga Avenue.
