There are many unique neighborhoods within Studio City each with their own bragging rights. A few of these enclaves are:

Fryman Canyon – Hidden away in the trees South Of Ventura, Fryman Canyon home to celebrities looking for privacy and beauty. This is arguably the most exclusive and expensive area of Studio City.  The land surrounding Fryman is protected land so most homes are behind gates and hidden from prying eyes. The 122 acres hiking trails are another draw to the area. Shaded and dog friendly makes this a Studio City favorite. The parking lot on the corner of Fryman and Laurel Canyon is rarely empty. Fryman Canyon Homes are located in the Carpenter Community Charter School District. The average sales price in 2015 in Fryman was $2,500,000. There are about 200 single family homes in the Fryman Estates and they don’t come on the market very often.

The Donas – Just this side of Mulholland on both sides of Laurel Canyon is another high end neighborhood of Studio City. Easy access to both sides of “the hill” make this a favorite location for homeowners that are looking for a good bang for their dollar. One of the features that make The Donas stand out is the views. All utilities are underground so the views are not interrupted with poles and wires. Another feature is the wide street and curbs traditionally missing in the hills. Homes for sale in The Donas Studio City are not cheap.

Silver Triangle – Just north of Fryman Canyon is the lovely Silver Triangle of Studio City. Nestled South Of Ventura but with the walkable streets of the flats this is a much sought after area for people that love to be within walking distance of store, restaurants and Carpenter Elementary School. This has always been an upscale neighborhood with home prices above average for the Studio City area but recently prices have been moving upward. The small two bedroom cottages that once dotted the tree-lined streets are being torn down to make way for the huge homes that seem to be invading The Valley. Unfortunately, some of the trees seem to going missing as well.

Keystone Studies

Studio City was named in the 1920’s when Mack Sennett, a Canadian film-maker,moved his “Keystone Studios” from Edendale(Silverlake/Glendale area)to a property near Colfax Avenue and Ventura Boulevard. In the mid-thirties Mack took a beating in the stock market and the lot became Mascot and later Monogram Studios. These two joined together to form the Republic Pictures movie studio. In 1963 that piece of Studio City Real Estate became the site of the CBS Studio Center. Which it remains today.

Another Studio City landmark is the Studio City Home used as the exterior for the Brady Bunch television show. The show originally aired from 1969 to 1974 on the ABC network, and was subsequently syndicated across the world. The Studio City Home was designed and built by Luther B. Carson.
