Direct AnswerNorth Hills shares a single ZIP — 91343 — but functions as two distinct sub-markets, and most listing portals (and most competing agents) treat it as one number. North Hills West is broadly the larger-lot, quieter, more suburban side, leaning toward Granada Hills in feel and often in price. North Hills East is the denser, more central, more attainable side, closer to the 405 and the Van Nuys/Mission Hills corridors. The ~$835,000 median (June 2026) is a blend that describes neither side well: a West single-family home near the Granada Hills line and an East condo near the 405 are different products for different buyers. The first useful question in a North Hills search is East or West, because it sorts price, lot size, stock, commute, and even school access more than the ZIP label ever will.

Why one ZIP behaves like two markets

91343 spans a real gradient from larger-lot-and-suburban (west) to denser-and-central (east). Collapsing it into a single median hides the actual decision. The North Hills pillar covers the city; this is the East/West sort no competitor maps.

Using the line

If lot size, schools, and a suburban feel lead, look West and weigh the Granada Hills HS feeder opportunity. If value and 405 access lead, look East. Verify school zoning and — near the basin — the recreation adjacency by address.
