Knollwood is the northern part of Granada Hills which is made of rolling hills with city views. Granada Hills will likely see more short sales to come. As homeowners begin to have more difficulties affording the terms of their loans, they will be faced to look at alternatives to foreclosure like loan modification and short sales.

Granada Hills is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California. The area now known as Granada Hills was acquired in about 1881 by George K. Porter, a pioneer of the north San Fernando Valley and one of the founders of the city of San Fernando. The land was used principally for farming, beans and wheat being among the usual crops.

Granada Hills High School is a favorite high school among clients I have worked with in the past. Granada Hills High School's stadium, the John Elway Stadium (named after the quarterback, an alumnus), is the home of the Los Angeles Rampage women's soccer team and the former home of the San Fernando Valley Quakes.

O’Melveny Park, the second largest park in Los Angeles, consists of a large undeveloped area and a much smaller developed section with several dozen citrus trees, a small intermittent stream, and grass and picnic areas. This very large park offers biking trails, hiking and a promontory from which a view of the northeastern portion of the San Fernando Valley can be seen.

Mission Point and its surrounding areas are popular mountain biking and hiking areas. The view from the top of Mission Point, the highest point in Granada Hills, is striking, taking in most of the San Fernando Valley. In clear weather, one can see the Pacific Ocean and Downtown Los Angeles.

White Oak Avenue (pictured on the left), between San Fernando Mission and San Jose Street was declared a Historical Landmark on August 3, 1966 for the 101 Deodar Cedar Trees that line the street (which has been dubbed "Christmas Tree Lane"). The trees are native to the Himalayas and valued for their size, beauty and timber. This is one of my favorite streets in Granada Hills because of the Cedar Trees.
