Shadow Hills, Los Angeles, California
Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHA : Shadow Hills, Los Angeles, California
Shadow Hills is a semi-rural neighborhood in far northeastern Los Angeles, primarily contained within the community of Sunland, with the remaining portion contained within the community of Sun Valley. The area is primarily equestrian zoned, one of the last remaining such sections within Los Angeles. Shadow Hills is north of the independent city of Burbank and is the western-most portion of the Tujunga Valley, which begins just southeast of the Hansen Lake reservoir. A hunting lodge once owned by actor Clark Gable still stands in Shadow Hills overlooking the lake.
The neighborhood's residents formed the Shadow Hills Property Owners Association in the mid-1960s to fight the planned routing of a Foothill Freeway offramp through the heart of the neighborhood, which would have run along McBroom Street and two segments of Wheatland Avenue, from Wentworth Avenue to Sunland Boulevard. This grassroots organization persuaded the Los Angeles Planning Commission to abandon the proposed route for the offramp, and so preserved the neighborhood's semi-rural character. The Association continues to function today with a slightly different name.
