Tarzana Community Information Localism

We are sponsoring the Tarzana region of Los Angeles! Come and check out our photos and community details.

Tarzana is a community located in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Tarzana, a district of Los Angeles, is surrounded by Reseda to the north, Woodland Hills to the west, Encino to the east, and the Santa Monica Mountains to the south. Tarzana was originally part of the San Fernando Mission. The towns' namesake is owed to Edgar Rice Burrows best known as the author of the Tarzan stories. Burrows purchased the land and build a large home which he named Tarzana Ranch. The area was named Tarzana in 1927 in honor of the author and his character.

The majority of the population lives in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Tarzana is home to two Country Clubs, which are both located in the Santa Monica Mountains. Complete with golf courses, you have the choice between El Caballero Country Club and Braemar Country Club.

Tarzana has been home to many famous people such as Jaime Foxx, Michael J. Fox, Lisa Kudrow, Paul Thomas Anderson, Carlos Mencia, Eva Longoria and Kevin Federline. Tarzana is the setting in many TV and film productions such as Thirteen, The Karate Kid, Akeelah and the Bee, Magnolia, Six feet Under, Oh, God! and Get Shorty.

You can find almost any chain restaurant you would even want right in your back yard. This is the place to go for quiet communities, easy parking and tons of mini-malls.
