Around Burbank

Burbank, beyond the house.

The neighbourhoods, the daily rhythm and the drive to everywhere else — the part of a home search a listing sheet never covers.

The neighbourhoods

Where Burbank actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Magnolia Park

A trendy district along Magnolia Boulevard built out with 1940s storybook-style homes, popular with entertainment-industry professionals working nearby.

Media District

Home to The Walt Disney Company's world headquarters, Warner Bros.

Toluca Lake area

An affluent district on Burbank's border with North Hollywood and Studio City, long favored by entertainment-industry residents for its proximity to the studios.

Rancho

A residential district near the Burbank Golf Course and the Verdugo foothills, part of the city's westward growth in the decades after incorporation.

Downtown Burbank

The civic and retail core anchored by the 1943 Art Deco Burbank City Hall at 275 East Olive Avenue, still in use as the seat of city government today.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Burbank, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at Cafe Grano, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Robert R. Ovrom Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Smashed, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
