BIG-TIME CITY WITH A SMALL-TOWN CHARM
There’s a good reason why Burbank is called the “Media Capital of the World.” When you’re home to the Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Cartoon Network, and a plethora of other studios, it’s a fitting moniker, indeed.
Look past the tinsel, however, and you’ll find a city with a tight-knit, small-town feel — not unlike the charming communities depicted on the countless TV shows and films produced here. And thanks to housing prices that are markedly lower compared to other neighborhoods in L.A., you likely don’t have to spend as much to call Burbank home.
FAST FACTS ABOUT BURBANK
Burbank lies in the San Fernando Valley and is part of Los Angeles County. Despite its outsized influence on the entertainment industry, the city has a fairly small population of just over 100,000. It is bordered by La Crescenta-Montrose to the northeast, Glendale to the southeast, Toluca Lake to the south, and North Hollywood to the west.
