LA View from Glenoaks Hills
Glenoaks Canyon
Named for Glenoaks Boulevard, the name is derived from a combination of “Glendale” and the natural feature of the area, the oak tree. Driving into Glenoaks Canyon one gets the feeling of entering a California of the 1930’s. Here, Spanish style courtyard homes are intermingled with ranch homes and much of the local activity centers around the neighborhood parks and the elementary school. As with other canyon neighborhoods, Glenoaks residents share their environment with foxes, coyotes, raccoons, hawks and deer, all of which contribute to the canyon atmosphere.
