WHAT TO EXPECT:
An intriguing mix of old and new.
Studio City has a small town feel—trees line the streets, people greet one another, and everyone shops local. But it also supports a number of hip eateries and boutiques.

THE LIFESTYLE:
Mellow, quiet, and surprisingly hip.

The occasional famous face.
With a number of stars calling Studio City home, you’re likely to spot a celebrity every so often.
