Where ZIP code 91403 starts and ends

Most Sherman Oaks addresses fall in one of two ZIP codes. 91403 covers the western half and 91423 covers the eastern half. Some blocks north of Magnolia Boulevard also carry a Sherman Oaks mailing address with ZIP code 91411, which they share with Van Nuys. Based on the U.S. Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area map and the Census geocoder, the boundaries of 91403 run roughly as follows:

• West: the San Diego Freeway (I-405). Addresses at 15301 and 15400 Ventura Boulevard are in 91403, while Haskell Avenue and the 15500 block of Ventura Boulevard are already in Encino, 91436.
• North: around Magnolia Boulevard. The 5000 and 5100 blocks of Kester Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard are in 91403, while the 5200 block of Kester Avenue and the 5300 block of Sepulveda Boulevard carry ZIP code 91411. Farther east, the blocks north of Magnolia near Van Nuys Boulevard are in 91401 (Van Nuys).
• East: about Van Nuys Boulevard. Addresses on Van Nuys Boulevard itself, such as the 4400 and 4800 blocks, have a 91403 ZIP code, while Tyrone Avenue, Stansbury Avenue, Hazeltine Avenue and Woodman Avenue are in 91423. South of Ventura Boulevard, the Beverly Glen Boulevard corridor is in 91423 as well.
• South: the hillside streets south of Ventura Boulevard, including Valley Vista Boulevard and the streets off Sepulveda Boulevard as it climbs into the Sepulveda Pass, run up toward Mulholland Drive. Beyond the ridge is Bel Air (90077).

The Ventura Freeway (US 101) crosses the northern part of the ZIP code, and its interchange with the I-405 sits at the western edge. The Census tabulation area covers about 3.6 square miles of land. It is a close match to the postal ZIP code but not an exact one, so for any single address, confirm the ZIP code with the U.S. Postal Service.

How 91403 compares with 91423, 91436 and 91411

91403 is a mixed ZIP code. About four in ten homes are single-family houses and most of the rest are in apartment and condominium buildings, which places it between Encino's 91436, which is mostly houses, and eastern Sherman Oaks in 91423, which has an even larger share of multi-unit buildings.

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, tables B25024, B25003 and B25077, via Census Reporter; Redfin housing market pages for 91403, 91423 and 91436. Redfin figures for 91403 and 91423 were viewed October 2, 2026, and for 91436 on September 28, 2026.

To the north, the 91411 ZIP code, which includes the Sherman Oaks blocks north of Magnolia Boulevard and part of Van Nuys, had a Redfin median sale price of $1,233,966 and a median of 37 days on market over the same three months.

Several places people think of as central Sherman Oaks are in 91403: the Sherman Oaks Galleria (15301 Ventura Boulevard), Sherman Oaks Hospital (4929 Van Nuys Boulevard) and Sherman Oaks Castle Park (4989 Sepulveda Boulevard). Westfield Fashion Square (14006 Riverside Drive) and the Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Recreation Center (14201 Huston Street), by contrast, are in 91423.

The 91403 housing market right now

Because 91403 has both hillside houses and a large number of condominiums, the all-types median depends heavily on which kinds of homes sold in a given period. That is why the market is best read by property type.

Source: Redfin, 91403 housing market, data through August 2026, viewed October 2, 2026. Redfin figures are based on MLS and public records.

Redfin also reported these August 2026 figures for all home types in 91403: a sale-to-list price ratio of 98.8%, 27.8% of homes selling above list price, and 34.6% of homes with a price drop. The median sale price per square foot was $673, down 10.0% from a year earlier.

What the numbers say. The all-types median fell 17.2% from a year earlier, but the single-family median fell only 7.3%. At the same time, Redfin counted 79.1% more condo sales than a year earlier. When more lower-priced condos close, the overall median drops even if the value of a typical house has not moved nearly as much, so a headline number alone can mislead both buyers and sellers. Houses took a median of 66 days to sell, while condos took 38. About one listing in three had a price reduction, yet more than one sale in four closed above the asking price, which tells me that well-priced homes are still drawing competition while overpriced ones sit. For a seller, that means pricing from recent sales of truly comparable homes, on the same side of Ventura Boulevard and of the same property type. For a buyer, it means room to negotiate on homes that have been on the market for a while, and the need to move quickly on the ones that are priced right.

Housing in 91403

According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, 91403 has 13,045 housing units. About 36.4% are detached single-family houses and another 2.6% are attached single-family homes, such as townhomes. About 58.6% of all homes are in buildings of five or more units, and roughly 4,730 homes, or 36.3%, are in buildings of 20 or more units. About 44.7% of occupied homes are owned and 55.3% are rented. The ACS median year built is 1971, the median gross rent is $2,417 a month, and the median value of an owner-occupied home is $1,520,000.

In practical terms, the ZIP code has two sides. North of Ventura Boulevard, on the flat streets between the I-405 and Van Nuys Boulevard, single-family streets sit alongside blocks of condominium and apartment buildings, with the largest buildings concentrated near Ventura Boulevard, Moorpark Street, Sepulveda Boulevard and Magnolia Boulevard. South of Ventura Boulevard, the streets climb into the hills toward Mulholland Drive and the homes are almost all single-family houses, many on hillside lots. A condo near the Galleria and a view home off Valley Vista Boulevard share a ZIP code but are entirely different markets.

My work in Sherman Oaks

In 91403, I handled a 2024 lease of a home on Lemona Avenue, just north of Ventura Boulevard. Most of my Sherman Oaks work has been in 91423, the eastern half, where I have completed more than a dozen leases since 2021 on Coldwater Canyon Avenue, Landale Street, Ventura Canyon Avenue and Valleyheart Drive, as well as a listing sale on Landale Street. I also sold a listing on McCormick Street, a Sherman Oaks address with ZIP code 91411, in 2020. I work with buyers, sellers, owners and tenants across all of Sherman Oaks, and I prepare every price opinion in 91403 from the recent sales that match the home, not from the ZIP code median.
