Sylmar Acres anchors the northern fringe of the Sylmar community in Los Angeles, a short hop from the independent city of San Fernando. Known for generous lots, ranch-style homes, and pockets of equestrian zoning, the area delivers breathing room while keeping everyday needs close. Quick access to the 210, 5, and 118 freeways—and Metrolink service from the Sylmar/San Fernando station—makes regional commutes straightforward.
Weekends shine here. Auto enthusiasts lose hours at the meticulously curated The Nethercutt Collection, while families love meeting rescued animals at the Wildlife Learning Center. Open-space seekers head to the Hansen Dam Recreation Area for trails, an aquatic center, boating, and sports fields, or spread out under the trees at El Cariso Community Regional Park with its gym, pool, and picnic groves. For higher education and workforce training, Los Angeles Mission College offers robust programs, community classes, and cultural events right in the neighborhood.
Families appreciate a range of LAUSD options—such as Sylmar Charter High School and several elementary magnets—along with youth sports at local parks and a steady calendar of community festivals. Daily life hums along Foothill Boulevard, where mom-and-pop eateries share space with services and markets. Housing here often includes room for gardens, workshops, or even an ADU, appealing to buyers who want flexibility today and value tomorrow.
