Map

Sun Valley, located in the San Fernando Valley just northwest of the Burbank Airport, became a LANI neighborhood in 1994. It is a close-knit community comprised of residential areas and small businesses, as well as light industry fueled by the freight train route in the project area. The community retains some vestiges of its past as a rural ranching area in the early 1900s with sporadic unpaved streets, and a lack of sidewalks and lighting. The neighborhood is anchored by a large park, which houses a gym and community center, and by the Sun Valley Park Plaza, completed by LANI and Sun Valley stakeholders in 2000.
