One of my favorite places in Chatsworth is the Mason Park Splash pad (top left).  Chatsworth is in the northwestern San Fernando Valley bordered by the Santa Susana Mountains which are large sandstone rock formations making for a beautiful setting especially from the top of Stoney Point.  Porter Ranch is to the northeast, Northridge to the east, West Hills, Canoga Park, and Winnetka to the south, and the Simi Hills, Ventura County to the west.

 

Chatsworth is known for its Indian Heritage and is home to many local businesses which several commercial properties.  This helps to provide jobs to the nearby residents and support higher home prices and a good local economy.  Some current businesses based in Chatsworth are: 3M Corporation, Girl Scouts, Capstone Turbine, Hydraulics International, and with Lamps Plus having production and distribution facilities here.

 

Chatsworth was originally inhabited by several Native American Indian tribes. Chatsworth Park (pictured left) is a huge park with a sacred feel to it along with Stoney point which explains why Native American civilizations had inhabited this part of the Valley. In fact, Stoney Point is the site of the Native American settlement and was also a trading place.  Chatsworth is distinguished by having more parks and parkland acreage than most communities and is the home of Stoney Point Park and Sage Ranch Park.

 

Stone Haven Estates II (pictured left)--I closed a sale on one of the Stone Haven Estates New Construction Luxury Homes in Chatsworth. The Stone Haven Estates II development has an HOA which is shared with the adjacent Stone Have Estates.  The Stone Haven Estates II has home sizes ranging from approximately 2836 to 3714 square foot.  The models are from 3 to 5 bedrooms and located near Topanga Canyon Blvd and Chatsworth St.  Nice to see new home construction returning to the valley.  With limited amounts of land left to develop, these projects are not that common.  I just saw one recently in Tarzana and have seen some tear down's in Sherman Oaks...another sign that things are improving.

Indian Falls Estates--Indian Falls Estates are some of the larges homes and of the most prestigious properties in the San Fernando Valley.  The homes were built around 2005 and offer some of the best views of the valley and range in size from approximately 3609 to 5336.  This 24 hour gated community has very extravagant luxury homes with very large lots and amazing view of the valley.  The community is located off the 118 freeway, just take Topanga Canyon north of 118 freeway and go left to reach the entrance of the gated community.
