Studio City is one of 24 named communities in the San Fernando Valley, which are part of the incorporated City of Los Angeles.  Studio City is ideally situated for living, working or relaxing in Southern California and being a New York transplant, I fell in love with Studio City. Studio City is just 12 miles northwest of the Los Angeles Civic Center, nestled in the foothills of the north slope of the Santa Monica mountains, a prime location for easy access to employment centers in Hollywood, Downtown, the Valley and Beverly Hills. The Ventura Freeway from Los Angeles and the San Diego Freeway from the coastal cities allows easy access to all of Southern California..

Studio City was created by the movie industry.  Famous names that have worked at these studios over the years include the following: D.W. Griffith, Mabel Norman, Ben Turpin, Charlie Chaplin, Slim Summerville, Harry Langdon, Edward Everett Horton, W.C. Fields, Gloria Swanson, Marie Prevost, Carole Lombard, Gene Autry, Vaughn Monroe, Barbara Stanwyck, Rory Calhoun, Ward Bond, and Joan Crawford. Today, thousands are employed at the various studios and entertainment-related businesses that operate in Studio City.
