Why proximity matters for a regional-draw school
Unlike a public high school tied to an attendance boundary, a private regional school pulls families from a wide radius. That flips the home-search logic: instead of buying into a zone, you buy for a sustainable daily commute and for the parish-and-peer community that clusters near campus. The Mission Hills pillar maps the full city; this page is the school-first view.
The neighborhoods around campus
- Central Mission Hills (91345): the closest, most attainable stock — the natural first search for Alemany families.
- Granada Hills / North Hills edges: short hops with slightly different price and lot profiles — see the 91345 guide for the ZIP-level frame.
- Parish-adjacent streets: families often weight proximity to their parish alongside the school itself.
The tuition-and-attainability math
For families carrying private high-school tuition — often across more than one child — a lower home price is not a luxury, it is what makes the whole plan work. Mission Hills’ median sits well below the Valley’s luxury tier, which is precisely why it functions as a practical base for Catholic-school families. The parallel parochial-elementary path is covered in the St. Genevieve area guide.
