Back to Los AngelesTop LA Shopping Streets & Neighborhoods

San Fernando Valley--Here's a rundown of L.A.'s top shopping areas -- from chic to cheap -- along with some highlights of each neighborhood to give you an idea of what you'll find there.

Studio City (Ventura Blvd. between Laurel Canyon Blvd. and Fulton Ave.) -- Long beloved by Valley residents, Studio City is where you'll find small boutiques and antiques stores, quirky little businesses (many dating from the 1940s and 1950s), and less congested branches of popular chains like Gap, Pier 1 Imports, and Blockbuster. Camera buffs stop at the full-service Studio City Camera Exchange for everything from film processing to camera repairs. Parking is a cinch on the street except during holiday season, when stores team up to decorate these blocks and often observe extended evening hours. The 4 blocks of Ventura Boulevard between Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Whitsett Avenue are the most concentrated.
