Direct AnswerNorth Hills (ZIP 91343, San Fernando Valley) really is split into North Hills East and North Hills West, divided by the I-405 (San Diego Freeway). North Hills East lies east of the 405 (roughly Lassen to Roscoe, west to the 405, east to the Pacoima Wash); North Hills West lies west of the 405 (Lassen to Roscoe, the 405 to Bull Creek Wash) and was created as a separate neighborhood-council area. Both are served by LAUSD (James Monroe High School serves the area). As of early-to-mid 2026 the 91343 median sale price was roughly $816K-$862K depending on source/month (Redfin/Zillow).

If you're searching "North Hills," the first thing to settle is which side of the 405 you mean - the freeway is the dividing line, and the two sides have their own neighborhood councils.

The split

North Hills is divided into North Hills East and North Hills West, with the I-405 (San Diego Freeway) as the dividing line:

  • North Hills East - east of the 405; roughly Lassen Street (north) to Roscoe Boulevard (south), the 405 (west) to the Pacoima Wash (east).
  • North Hills West - west of the 405; Lassen (north) to Roscoe (south), the 405 (east) to Bull Creek Wash (west). It was created as a separate neighborhood-council carve-out west of the freeway.
Neither side is categorically "better" - they're different pockets with their own streets and price points. I don't push one over the other; I match the specific home and block to what you need.

Schools

North Hills (91343) is served by LAUSD. James Monroe High School (9229 Haskell Ave) serves the area, with feeder elementaries including Chase Street, Gledhill Street, Langdon Avenue, and others. Confirm the exact attendance area for a specific address with the LAUSD School Finder.

The market

The 91343 ZIP median sale price was roughly $816K-$862K in early-to-mid 2026 depending on source and month (Redfin median ~$861,566 in April 2026; Zillow typical value ~$826,902). Redfin and Zillow report at the ZIP/neighborhood level, not by East/West split, so I work from a comp set on the specific block.
