The triangle's logic
- Canoga Park (~$725K): lowest entry, job-core adjacency, the appreciation-edge thesis — and the most corridor-noise diligence.
- Reseda (~$800K): the balanced middle — quieter interior pockets, the Cleveland zone, redevelopment momentum without Canoga's commercial edges.
- Northridge (~$1M): newer phases, CSUN amenities, Granada Hills Charter applications next door — the triangle's finish-line market.
Decision shortcuts
Maximum house-per-dollar with upside tolerance → Canoga Park. The balance of price, schools, and quiet → Reseda. Budget clears $950K and zone reputation matters → Northridge. Investors: the triangle's ADU math runs strongest at its floor (see the ADU master); owner-occupants: the interior-pocket rule applies in all three.
