Furnished Units Available
Tarzana sits in the western stretch of the San Fernando Valley as a neighborhood of Los Angeles, quietly carrying one of the most distinctive origin stories in the city. Author Edgar Rice Burroughs purchased roughly 550 acres here in the early 20th century and named the land after his most famous creation, Tarzan. That literary history anchors a neighborhood that has since grown into a well-established community along the southern slope of the Valley, with Ventura Boulevard serving as its main commercial spine.
Residents here have access to a range of rental options, from garden-style apartment communities and townhomes to smaller bungalow-style units tucked into tree-lined side streets. The housing stock reflects both the neighborhood's suburban scale and its Los Angeles setting. Nearby communities like Encino, Woodland Hills, and Reseda expand the sense of place without pulling you far from home.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
