"Woodland Hills" covers very different homes depending on where you are. Three sub-areas come up most - and they price and live quite differently.

Walnut Acres (north of the Boulevard)

Walnut Acres is a recognized Woodland Hills neighborhood north of Ventura Boulevard, known for large lots (roughly half-acre to ~2 acres), mature trees, and a semi-rural/equestrian character. Local brokerages place it roughly between Burbank Blvd and Oxnard/Sylvan, with Manton/Woodlake and Sale Avenue as the rough east-west edges (boundaries are informal). The neighborhood is served by Woodlake Elementary Community Charter (22776 Ventura Blvd).

Correction worth knowing: there is no "Walnut Acres Elementary" in Woodland Hills - the only school by that name is in Walnut Creek, hundreds of miles north. The LAUSD elementary actually serving the Walnut Acres area is Woodlake Elementary Community Charter. Verify your address with the LAUSD School Finder.

Vista de Oro (south of the Boulevard)

Vista de Oro is a south-of-the-Boulevard enclave (ZIP 91364) on the north slope of the Santa Monica Mountains - custom view and luxury homes, with the upper portion marketed as "South of Wells Drive."

South of the Boulevard

More broadly, "South of the Boulevard" (south of Ventura Blvd) is Woodland Hills' premium hillside zone climbing toward Mulholland, with "South of Wells Drive" as the premium sub-tier. Larger lots, views, and higher prices than the flatter areas to the north.

The market

The canonical Woodland Hills median home price is $1,535,000 (data.json). Sub-area pricing varies widely - Walnut Acres lots and south-of-the-Boulevard view homes typically sit at the upper end. Ask me for a comp set specific to the pocket you are targeting.
