How Alemany actually works
Alemany is part of the Archdiocese's high-school system: application, entrance assessment, and tuition (with aid programs). No home purchase guarantees a seat — buy for the neighborhood first, with the campus commute as the bonus. That said, the school's gravitational pull on Mission Hills demand is real: it is the single most common reason prep-minded families pick this ZIP over Granada Hills.
The commute micro-map
- Mission Core / Alemany corridor blocks: walk-or-2-minute zone around Rinaldi.
- Sepulveda/Devonshire edge: 5 minutes, with North Hills pricing on some streets.
- Granada Hills south: 7-10 minutes — the step-up district alternative (Granada Hills Charter) for hedging public/private decisions.
