Old Town Canoga Park is the neighborhood's historic heart - a walkable Sherman Way main street that was the original downtown of Owensmouth, more than a century ago.
The historic core
Canoga Park began as Owensmouth, founded March 30, 1912, and was renamed Canoga Park in 1931. Its historic main street runs along Sherman Way - the Pacific Electric Red Car once ran down its center - intersecting Owensmouth Avenue, the town's namesake street. Landmarks include the historic Canoga Park Post Office (21801 Sherman Way) and the Canoga-Owensmouth Historical Society Museum (7248 Owensmouth Ave). Westfield Topanga and the Warner Center commercial district are adjacent to the south and east.
Schools
Canoga Park is served by LAUSD. Schools in Canoga Park include Canoga Park Senior High, Hart Street Elementary, Nevada Avenue Elementary, Canoga Park Elementary, and Christopher Columbus Middle School. Ernest Lawrence Middle School serves the broader area but is located just north in Chatsworth. Confirm the exact attendance area for a specific address with the LAUSD School Finder.
The market
The canonical Canoga Park median home price is $765,500 (data.json). Old Town's older housing stock and walkable core appeal to buyers who want character and value close to Warner Center jobs and the Metro Orange Line. Ask me for a comp set on the specific block you are considering.
