Woodland Hills Realtor
Woodland Hills is a highly prized community in the city of
Los Angeles. It's a rarity to find such a quiet setting
within the city limits of Los Angeles, but Woodland Hills
manages to combine both the proximity to downtown prized
by many commuters with the tree-filled oasis they yearn
for. When looking for your home in Woodland Hills, a
realtor that is deeply familiar with Woodland Hills will
be able to assist you best.
In 1922 a man named Victor Girard Kleinberger renamed the
area, and himself, Girard. He had come to adore the land
he would name after himself and had grand plans of a large
community that would settle there. Girard's ambition knew
no bounds, though.
He frequently would purposefully deceive prospective
property owners. In an attempt to lure potential
landowners, he built up the façade of a city, complete
with gates and false building fronts in the hopes someone
would see Girard as a blossoming community. When he did
manage to get some buyers, he placed liens on their land
without their knowledge so that he could pay off his
debtors.
Girard did end up attracting residents and businesses. To
beautify the area, he planted eucalyptus, fir, pepper and
sycamore trees throughout the community. Because of
Girard's beautification project, Woodland Hills today is a
serene and shady oasis in the San Fernando Valley. It's
because of these imported trees that the area came to be
known as Woodland Hills.
