Renters’ Guide to Canoga Park, CA

Canoga Park is a large suburban area in California, just 27 miles northwest of Downtown Los Angeles, 25 miles west of Burbank, and 60 miles northwest of Anaheim.

This small area has an interesting history, as it was originally part of a Mexican rancho before the Mexican War, and after an American Victory it was converted into wheat farms and split up. A town was founded in 1912, and it has been a part of Los Angeles since 1917.

The weather in Canoga Park is one of its best aspects, as the city’s hot-summer Mediterranean climate gives the region warm, dry summers and short, mild winters.
