Mission Hills is where the San Fernando Valley began: the 1797 Mission San Fernando Rey de España and the Andres Pico Adobe (the Valley's oldest home) both sit here. Today it is a compact, predominantly mid-century neighborhood anchored by two institutions — Bishop Alemany High School, the Catholic prep that draws families from across the north Valley, and Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, a major employer. Pricing lands between North Hills (~$835K) and Granada Hills (~$992K), with quiet streets and strong owner-occupancy.
Mission Hills is a tight, low-turnover market — the neighborhood is small (~23,000 residents) and owners hold long. Demand concentrates around Bishop Alemany families and Holy Cross medical staff. Median sale prices have hovered in the low $800Ks over the past year, with modest softening (~1%) mirroring the broader NE Valley.

Mission Hills is a north San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles (ZIP 91345), bounded roughly by the 405, 5, and 118 freeways — between North Hills, Granada Hills, and the city of San Fernando. It is named for the 1797 Mission San Fernando Rey de España, which still operates there.
Mission Hills suits buyers who want quiet mid-century streets, strong institutions (Bishop Alemany High School, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center), and the north Valley's historic character. The trade-off is a small market — inventory is thin and well-priced homes move fast.
Median sale prices have run roughly $810,000–$822,000 over the past year (down about 1% year over year), with homes averaging around 35 days on market as of June 2026. Streets near the Mission and Alemany typically price toward the top of that range.
Mission Hills runs slightly under Granada Hills and slightly over North Hills (~$810K vs ~$835K medians are close — the real differences are character and institutions). Mission Hills offers the historic core, Alemany, and Holy Cross; North Hills offers more inventory and the West/East value split.
LAUSD serves Mission Hills — James Monroe High School and Sepulveda Middle School are the nearest public secondary schools, with elementary assignment varying by street.
