Local guide
About Encino
Infamous for its mention in Frank Zappa’s 1982 hit song “Valley Girl” lies the historic neighborhood of Encino – just to the north of Bel-Air and west of Sherman Oaks. Thought to be named after a 1000-year-old Oak tree, it is one of the oldest parts of the Valley. While quieter than other neighborhoods, it still boasts all the charm of LA. Shop and dine down the bustling area of Encino Commons or take a picnic to enjoy the California sun in Los Encinos State Park.
