Sherman Oaks is close to two major freeways and serves as a gateway to the San Fernando Valley. The community is located on the southern perimeter of the Valley between the communities of Studio City and Encino. Sherman Oaks real estate is comprised of level acreage North of Ventura Blvd. and a hilly terrain South of Ventura Blvd. Many of these homes take in sweeping views. Homes in the area are some of the most expensive in the San Fernando Valley. The Median cost for a house is $730,000. Condos and townhomes are considerably less expensive. The community encompasses 8 square miles and has a population of 53,000 people. Sherman Oaks was one of the first San Fernando Valley communities to experience intensive real estate development. The area subdivision map was filed in 1911.

The community is a very centrally located. The intersection of the San Diego and Ventura freeways as well as canyon routes to the L.A. basin  are all located within Sherman Oaks. The heart of this community is Ventura Blvd. There are numerous boutiques and plazas that line the street, providing residents and visitors with endless window-shopping opportunities. In addition the area has two large shopping malls (the Galleria is currently undergoing a major renovation). Many members of the financial industry, including banks and brokerage houses, are located in Sherman Oaks. Sunkist Growers, one of the country's oldest and largest agricultural cooperatives, has been rooted locally for almost 30 years. Residents take great pride in their community and the local Homeowners Association is recognized as an example for others throughout Los Angeles. Every year the Chamber Of Commerce hosts a street fair along Ventura Blvd. In 2000, an estimated 70,000 people attended.
