People say great things come in small packages. That is true for Encino, an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles (LA), where shopping, fine dining, and Hollywood celebrity sightings are normal occurrences. This unassuming place, located in the San Fernando Valley region of LA, is packed with huge houses, apartment buildings, and beautiful parks. Although smaller than other areas in the city, the cost of living here is high. However, with its perfect weather and quiet surroundings, it is well worth its price. Ventura Boulevard in Encino, the world’s longest stretch of restaurants and shops, is a favorite tourist destination. Lake Balboa, which features a maritime-themed play area, is another great spot to visit. Make sure not to miss these when you are visiting Encino and book an accommodation that allows you to explore the neighborhood easily.
