The traffic from that portion of the 101 into The Valley isn't too bad.

I have a great deal of success in selling Van Nuys to people who do NOT fall within the categories you've mentioned. We have a strist policy against leasing to illegals, drug addicts, criminals and section 8's. Sadly, I have no control over the kinds of people neighboring companies lease to. There is a very good reason behind WHY I am leaving this work and moving back to Simi Valley. My ethics and sense of integrity make it personally difficult for me to sell this area with a smile to nice, innocent people who know nothing about the area.

For the record...I was actually BORN in Van Nuys.

I think Sherman Oaks would be best. There are apartments near Ventura Blvd. but you might also look along Riverside Drive (just on the other side of the freeway). Studio City isn't too far away either.

"Van Nuys: at least it's not Panorama City"

I didn't mention illegals. Although a large part of Van Nuys' population is illegal. "Either from straight over the border or straight out of prison"

Aren't you from the UK?

Van Nuys was a functional working class neighborhood until the factories closed. (Much like many similar neighborhoods across the USA, including those with few or no illegal immigrants).If you are from Van Nuys I don't have to tell you the story of what happened in the late '80s and early '90s to Van Nuys and the NE Valley in general.

Well, you have a point there

I get them "straight out of jail." Not as tenants though. I usually have to call the police to remove them from my property, where they end up passed out drunk in the parking lot, driveway or on my patio. The legal immigrants aren't a problem at all, at least not in my building. They tend to be decent tenants.

I was born in Van Nuys, raised in Simi Valley, and lived in the UK for a number of years.
