The tiers around campus
- 5 minutes: Sylmar's Olive View-adjacent streets — foothill quiet, the hospital commute as a walk-or-roll.
- Entry tier: San Fernando's Mission District and Pacoima's northern blocks — first purchases on resident/fellow budgets.
- Attending tier: Granada Hills' charter-zone streets and Porter Ranch's gated tracts.
- The sleeper: Bee Canyon/Kagel Canyon equestrian parcels — acreage living 8 minutes from rounds, unmatched anywhere in LA medicine.
Mechanics for county-program timelines
Residency start dates compress everything: pre-approval before match-week travel, physician-loan products for buying attendings (zero/low down, no PMI), and Sylmar's rental depth as the bridge for residents. Brian coordinates Olive View relocations alongside the Holy Cross and West Hills medical corridors — the NE Valley medical-housing market is one connected system.
