Warner Center, Woodland Hills: What Each Budget Bought in the Last 12 Months

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

Eighty-seven homes changed hands inside Warner Center between September 27, 2025 and September 27, 2026, and every single one was a condominium or a townhome. Not one detached house closed in that window. That fact shapes everything about buying here: you are choosing a building, a floor plan and a homeowners association as much as a location. So rather than describe the area in general terms, this guide sorts those 87 closed sales into four price bands and shows what each band actually delivered.

Drawing the lines around Warner Center

Warner Center is not a separate city. It is a district of the City of Los Angeles inside Woodland Hills, and its official outline comes from the Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan, adopted by ordinance in December 2013. The city describes the plan area as roughly 1.5 square miles framed by the Los Angeles River on the north, the Ventura Freeway on the south, De Soto Avenue on the east and Topanga Canyon Boulevard on the west.

For the sales figures below, I searched CRMLS with a map shape running along Topanga Canyon Boulevard, De Soto Avenue, Vanowen Street and the 101. Residential resale inventory is concentrated in the southern half of that shape: all 87 closings sat below Victory Boulevard, mostly along Burbank Boulevard, Canoga Avenue, Owensmouth Avenue, Califa Street, Erwin Street and Marylee Street. North of Victory, the district is mostly offices, retail and rental apartment buildings.

Twelve months of closed sales at a glance

Property type is as the listing agent entered it in the MLS. Days on market is the MLS "days at market" count for that listing. Sizes are MLS figures, which are often taken from assessor records and are not guaranteed.

Tier one, under $450,000: almost entirely one-bedroom flats

Fifteen homes closed below $450,000, and fourteen of them were one-bedroom, one-bath condos. Every sale in this band came from one complex: The Met, the 1987 guard-gated community on Canoga Avenue, Owensmouth Avenue and Burbank Boulevard. Prices ran from $352,500 to $430,000 with a median of $385,000, and the typical unit measured 610 square feet, with a few 740 and 770 square foot plans at the top of the band.

This was also the quickest-moving slice of the market. The median one-bedroom sold in 21 days, faster than any other bedroom count. The lone two-bedroom in the band, 920 square feet at 5520 Owensmouth Avenue, closed at $420,000 in December 2025.

Tier two, $450,000 to $600,000: two bedrooms from several building eras

This was the busiest band, with 31 closings and a median of $527,500. Twenty-eight of the 31 were two-bedroom homes. What changes inside this range is not the bedroom count; it is the age and style of the building.

• 1987 flats at The Met. Two-bedroom, two-bath plans of about 910 to 1,040 square feet sold between $460,000 and $560,000. Two three-bedroom units of 1,020 square feet also landed here, at $520,000 (June 2026) and $540,000 (September 2026).
• A 2010 mid-rise at 21301 Erwin Street. A 740 square foot one-bedroom closed at $497,000 in April 2026, and 1,050 square foot two-bedrooms began at $580,000.
• Townhome entry points from 1979 and 1980. The two least expensive townhome sales of the year fell in this band: 895 square feet at 21551 Burbank Boulevard for $560,000, and 1,492 square feet at 21801 Burbank Boulevard for $590,000.

Tier three, $600,000 to $700,000: the townhome crossover

Twenty-one sales closed between $600,000 and $700,000 (median $650,000), and here townhomes outnumbered condos for the first time, 11 to 10. The median home in this band was 1,263 square feet.

This is where the trade-off between newer construction and more space is sharpest. At 21301 Erwin Street, built in 2010, two-bedroom condos of roughly 1,050 to 1,160 square feet closed from $613,000 to $690,100. Across the district in the 1979 townhome complex at 5711 Owensmouth Avenue, a 2,022 square foot three-bedroom sold for $600,000 in February 2026. Measured by price per square foot over the full year, the 2010 building's sales had a median near $590, while the complexes built between 1977 and 1984 had a median near $436. Condition, upgrades, parking and dues explain part of that gap, so compare the whole package, not the square footage alone.

Tier four, $700,000 and above: three bedrooms and the largest floor plans

Twenty sales reached $700,000 or more, with a median of $747,500. Fifteen were townhomes and fourteen had three bedrooms, with a median size of 1,723 square feet. Most came from complexes built between 1977 and 1984 along Owensmouth Avenue, Marylee Street, Califa Street, Burbank Boulevard and Oxnard Street.

The ceiling for the year was $875,000, paid in November 2025 for a 2,166 square foot three-bedroom at 20950 Oxnard Street near De Soto Avenue. A second 2,166 square foot plan in the same complex closed at $870,000 the same month. No closed sale in the map area went above $875,000 during these twelve months, so a buyer shopping above that figure is shopping for something the district did not produce in the last year.

Leasing in Warner Center: 94 signed leases

The rental side was even more active than the sales side. CRMLS shows 94 leases closed in the same map area over the same twelve months, with a median rent of $2,995 and a median of 30 days from listing to lease.

Most of these listings offered a standard one-year lease: 65 of the 94 listed a 12-month term and nothing else. Individual associations set their own leasing rules, such as minimum lease lengths, so an owner who plans to rent out a unit should read that association's documents before buying.

Current inventory as of the pull date

On September 27, 2026, the same map area showed 44 active for-sale listings with asking prices from $359,950 to $887,000 (median asking price $549,500), plus 12 more already in escrow or under contract. There were 47 active rental listings. Inventory changes daily, so use the live searches below rather than these counts.

Both searches use a map circle drawn over the district, so a listing just outside the edge can occasionally appear, and one just inside can be missed. Use the Save Search button on either results page to get new listings by email.

My own record inside this neighborhood

I have represented owners at The Met in three sales and ten leases between 2015 and 2024, all in the Owensmouth Avenue buildings. One unit there came back to me four separate times for new tenants between 2020 and 2024, and the signed rent climbed from $2,350 to $2,750 over those four leases. That repeat business is where most of my knowledge of how Warner Center condos lease, and what renters ask about, comes from.

Landmarks, transit and daily errands

• Warner Center Park (Warner Ranch Park), 5800 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, is a City of Los Angeles park on land the Warner family donated in 1967. Its bandshell hosts the Valley Cultural Foundation's free Sunday evening summer concerts.
• Westfield Topanga and The Village sit at the district's west edge. The mall opened in 1964; The Village opened in 2015. Retail there has changed recently: the Topanga Social food hall closed in April 2026 and Neiman Marcus closed in May 2026, according to Valley News Group.
• Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills Medical Center is at 5601 De Soto Avenue, along the district's eastern edge.
• Pierce College, 6201 Winnetka Avenue, is a short drive east.
• Transit: the Metro G Line busway stopped serving the old Warner Center station in June 2018. The closest G Line stops are now Canoga, De Soto and Pierce College, and Metro Line 601, the Warner Center Shuttle, connects the district to Canoga station.
• Freeway: the 101 exits at Topanga Canyon Boulevard, De Soto Avenue and Winnetka Avenue all serve the area.

The name traces back to Harry Warner, the eldest of the Warner brothers, whose horse ranch stood here before 630 acres were sold to Aetna for development in 1968.

Change on the horizon, stated carefully

More is in motion here than one page can hold, so this list sticks to the largest projects and labels each by where it stood in late September 2026. Proposed means nothing has been approved yet. Approved means the city has signed off, but no construction start had been reported.

• Proposed, construction projected for 2027: Rams Village at Warner Center on the 52-acre former Westfield Promenade, which was torn down between January and August 2026. The plan calls for the Rams headquarters, an indoor practice field, two indoor performance venues of about 5,000 and 2,500 seats, more than 3,000 homes, a hotel, offices, shops and roughly 10 acres of public open space. It is not a stadium. As of a September 23, 2026 report it was in Project Permit Compliance review with City Planning, and full buildout is expected to take about a decade.
• Proposed: Viva at 6400 Canoga Avenue, four towers of 34 to 42 stories holding 3,192 income-restricted senior apartments and 266 staff units, filed under the city's fast-track review for fully affordable housing (June and July 2026 reports). Also proposed: 316 affordable apartments at 21155 Califa Street (October 2025).
• Under construction: 128 affordable apartments at Nova at the Alcove, 21300 Oxnard Street, and 207 at 6033 De Soto Avenue, both expected in 2028; The Q Erwin at 21050 Erwin Street, which pulled permits in August 2026; and 395 senior affordable apartments at 21010 Vanowen Street, right on the district's northern line.
• Approved: 276 apartments over ground-floor retail at 6464 Canoga Avenue (City Council, December 4, 2025); 852 homes and a 204-room hotel on the former Fry's site at 6100 Canoga Avenue (2023); 395 homes and an office building at 6330 Variel Avenue (2021, permits still pending in early 2025); and the Warner Corporate Park plan for 841 rentals, 168 condos, offices and a hotel, part of which was marketed for sale as entitled land in January 2026.
• Still listed as coming soon: Wisteria at Warner Center, a senior life plan community of about 647 residences and care beds on Canoga Avenue. It had been projected for early 2026 and still described itself as coming soon on September 28, 2026.
• Retail at Topanga: Pinstripes closed in September 2025, Eddie Bauer at The Village in March 2026, the Topanga Social food hall in April 2026 and Neiman Marcus in May 2026. Since September 2, 2026 the old food hall has run rotating chef pop-ups booked through February 2027. Din Tai Fung is targeting 2027, Kura Sushi is posted as coming soon, and Ay Mi Pa is taking over the former Red Robin.
• Transit: the Metro G Line upgrade scheduled through late 2027 is on the eastern part of the line around Van Nuys, so it changes nothing for Warner Center riders.

Warner Center has seen large approvals expire without a shovel in the ground, so treat anything short of under construction as a possibility. My page on The Met covers the projects closest to that community in more detail.

Public schools serving the district

No public school has a street address inside the boundaries this page uses; the nearest campuses sit just past the edges. The Los Angeles Unified schools below are listed in the California Department of Education's school directory, and depending on the exact address, Warner Center homes may be zoned to schools such as these. Each name links to the school's page on the California School Dashboard, the state's official source for school data. The 2025 Dashboard is current, and the 2026 edition is scheduled for October 15, 2026.

• Hart Street Elementary, kindergarten through 5th grade, 21040 Hart Street, Canoga Park
• Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies, kindergarten through 5th grade, 19850 Delano Street
• Serrania Avenue Charter for Enriched Studies, kindergarten through 5th grade, 5014 Serrania Avenue, south of the 101
• Woodland Hills Academy, grades 6 through 8, 20800 Burbank Boulevard, just east of De Soto Avenue
• Canoga Park Senior High, grades 9 through 12, 6850 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, just north of Vanowen Street
• Taft Charter High, grades 9 through 12, 5461 Winnetka Avenue

One correction for anyone comparing listing sites: Ivy Academia on Shoup Avenue closed on June 30, 2026, although some sites still show it nearby. Assignments follow the exact street address, so confirm any home in the LAUSD Resident School Identifier, and remember that charter campuses run their own enrollment.

Costs and records worth checking before an offer

• HOA dues differ by complex and by unit size. Ask for the current dues, the reserve study and any pending assessment in writing.
• The Warner Center Mobility Fee is charged to developers under the Specific Plan, not to homeowners buying a resale unit.
• Special taxes: the public records reviewed for this guide did not show a Mello-Roos district tied to Warner Center, but confirm the actual tax bill for any specific property.
• Crime data: check crime mapping and COMPSTAT for the Topanga Area.
