Mandeville Canyon stretches over five miles north from Sunset Boulevard to just below Mulholland Drive, near the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains. This expansive canyon offers a tranquil escape from the city while remaining conveniently close to Brentwood’s amenities.
For those craving a country like atmosphere, Upper Mandeville Canyon delivers a serene retreat without sacrificing proximity to city amenities. While slightly more remote than Lower Mandeville Canyon, this community offers unparalleled tranquility, making it a haven for homeowners seeking to escape the urban hustle.
Homes in Upper Mandeville Canyon are typically more affordable than those in the lower canyon, with lot sizes often exceeding an acre. However, much of the acreage is composed of hillside terrain, limiting usable space. Residences are frequently tucked away on shared driveways, cul-de-sacs, or flag lots, enhancing privacy and reinforcing the area’s rural character. Befitting this countryside aesthetic, many properties operate on septic systems rather than city sewers.
Surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains, Upper Mandeville Canyon is a gateway to an extensive network of hiking and biking trails. The nearby Westridge-Canyonback Wilderness Park not only provides stunning natural scenery but also permits supervised off-leash dogs one of the few areas in Los Angeles to offer this unique amenity.
