Located in the center of the San Fernando Valley, Panorama City considers itself the heart of the Valley. Van Nuys Boulevard, lined with stores and malls, serves as the main thoroughfare of Panorama City. Single-family homes fill the neighborhood east of the boulevard, while the western portion largely contains apartments.
Residents enjoy easy access throughout the Valley, living within three miles of the San Diego, Golden State, Simi Valley, and Hollywood Freeways. Panorama City sits 19 miles northwest of Downtown Los Angeles and 6 miles west of the Burbank Airport.
