A Saturday in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, Walked Stop by Stop and Checked Against 88 Home Sales

Written by Antonio Vaziri, Realtor, Epique Realty, DRE #01927866 · Last updated November 2026

Start with a date: September 8, 1797. That is when the mission at 15151 San Fernando Mission Boulevard was founded, according to the California Office of Historic Preservation. This page walks a day through four public places in Mission Hills, the mission, a park, an adobe and a hospital campus, and then lines up what the homes around them sold and rented for.

Data as of November 11, 2026. Source: CRMLS Matrix, residential and residential lease searches inside the Mission Hills Neighborhood Council outline, pulled November 11, 2026.

How the map line was drawn

The outline behind every number below is the shape the City of Los Angeles publishes for the Mission Hills Neighborhood Council. I placed that shape on the MLS map and let the system return every closing inside it. This matters because Mission Hills addresses are not filed under one tidy label. Of the 88 closings, 67 carry the city code MH, ten carry LA, nine carry SF, one carries a misspelled code, and one has no city at all. A search by city name alone would have dropped 21 of them. I used the residential category, which leaves out most multi-unit income properties, though one duplex appears in the results.

The ledger behind the walk: what 88 closings looked like

The remaining closing was a duplex that sold for $900,000. The busiest stretch was July, August and September 2026, which together held 32 of the 88 closings.

Climbing the price ladder, one rung at a time

Take the 81 houses and sort them by closing price. The middle rung is crowded: 34 of the 81 closed between $800,000 and $899,999, more than any other band. Median days on market rose from 8.5 in the lowest band to 33 in the $900,000 band, then eased to 25 above $1,000,000, though the top two bands hold only a handful of homes each.

Speed tells a similar story. Seventeen of the 81 houses closed after seven days or fewer on the market, 34 took between 8 and 30 days, 15 took 31 to 60, and 15 sat longer than 60. The single highest closing was $2,000,000 for an eight-bedroom house on Fox Street, a clear outlier that I would not use to judge any other home.

Reading the decades: a 1950s tract and a short list of newcomers

Most of the houses date from the same building boom. Fifty-three of the 81 were built in the 1950s and sold at a median of $840,000, with a median size of 1,562 square feet on a median lot of 7,719 square feet. Seven older houses, built before 1950, sold at a median of $715,000 and a median size of 1,044 square feet. Fourteen houses built between 1960 and 1999 sold at a median of $859,950 and 1,944 square feet. The seven built in 2000 or later sold at a median of $800,000, and their median lot is only 2,339 square feet.

Five of those seven newer homes belong together. Two on Rachel Lane, built in 2018, closed at $760,000 and $820,000. Two on North Alta Avenue and one on North Mission Heights Drive, all built in 2021, closed at $775,000, $800,000 and $775,000. The lots recorded for these five run from 1,603 to 2,856 square feet and the homes from 1,574 to 1,950 square feet, which is a different product from the 1950s houses, whose median lot is 7,719 square feet. A house built in 2001 on Ginger Lane closed at $875,000, and a 2003 house on Mission Hills Estate Court closed at $975,000.

The six attached sales, listed by address

Attached homes were rare in this outline, and two small clusters account for most of them. At 15031, 15047 and 15051 Chatsworth Street, three condos built in 1980 closed at $470,000, $495,000 and $490,000. A townhome built in 1990 at 11068 Sharp Avenue closed at $535,000, and two condos built in 1988 at 10943 Laurel Canyon Boulevard closed at $396,000 and $400,000. With only six sales, the $480,000 median can swing on a single closing.

What renting cost: 36 leases in twelve months

The median lease took 39 days on the market. Three bedrooms was the most common size among the 36.

Listed today across the outline

On November 11 the same outline held 22 active listings, one active under contract and seven pending. The 18 active houses asked from $749,500 to $1,349,000, with a median ask of $882,450. The four active condos asked $330,000, $389,000 and $399,000 twice. The buttons below open the live search on this site for the full outline, so the counts there come from a separate feed and may differ from the table above.

What is on the calendar next, with the status of each item

Each item names its status and the date of the source I checked. Plans can change, shrink or stall, so treat anything not yet built as a possibility rather than a promise.

• Design phaseMission Mile Sepulveda. The Bureau of Street Services proposes to reshape Sepulveda Boulevard between Rayen Street and Rinaldi Street, and Brand Boulevard between Sepulveda and Memory Park Avenue. The project would cut the boulevard to four lanes in several segments, add a two-way protected bikeway and put a walking path in the median. A CEQA Notice of Exemption was received by the state on September 24, 2026. It says 95 percent design plans were issued on June 5, 2026, 100 percent plans were anticipated for October 2026, and a funding request to the California Transportation Commission is anticipated for December 2026. I could not confirm whether the 100 percent plans have been issued. The notice gives no construction dates.
• Under constructionEast San Fernando Valley Light Rail. Metro lists an 11-station line of 6.7 miles along Van Nuys Boulevard from the G Line to San Fernando Road, with an estimated project completion of early 2032. Metro's page does not mention Mission Hills. The Mission Mile notice says its project connects to two planned Metro transit projects, which it does not name.
• PlanningSepulveda Transit Corridor. Metro describes an underground heavy rail line between the Van Nuys Metrolink station and the E Line near Expo and Sepulveda. The Metro Board selected a Locally Preferred Alternative in January 2026, and comments on the environmental review are due November 18, 2026. I did not find a station listed in Mission Hills.

I also looked for a dated opening or closure of a shopping center or grocery store in Mission Hills and did not find one, so none is listed. The City Planning page for the Mission Hills, Panorama City and North Hills Community Plan says the plan was last updated in 1995 and describes no current update.

Public schools that carry a Mission Hills address

The California Department of Education School Directory returns two active public schools for ZIP code 91345, and both are in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Select the elementary school name to open its page on the California School Dashboard. The adult center has no Dashboard report, so its name links to its directory record.

Homes in this outline may be assigned to schools with addresses in neighboring areas, and the assignment depends on the exact street address of the home. To see which schools serve a particular address, use the LAUSD Resident School Identifier and then confirm with the district.

Other guides in this part of the Valley

For the broader view, start with the Mission Hills homes page, which covers the whole 91345 ZIP code. Neighboring guides include North Hills in four corners and the Lemona Lisa townhome community. The full list is on the neighborhood guides page.
