San Fernando Valley · Los Angeles County
Studio City real estate
Colfax Meadows · Silver Triangle · Woodbridge Park · Fryman Canyon
Studio City sits at the southeast corner of the Valley against the Hollywood Hills, and it draws a distinct buyer. People who want Valley square footage with fast access to the Westside and the studios. Colfax Meadows and the Silver Triangle are the most consistently competitive pockets, and school attendance boundaries drive a real and measurable premium within them.
Because those boundaries matter so much, a few hundred feet can change a home's value here in a way that is not obvious from a map. It is a market that rewards precise comping. Studio City is inside City of Los Angeles limits, so LA City transfer tax applies, and the hillside and larger Colfax Meadows properties can reach the Measure ULA threshold.

If you're selling
What it costs to sell in Studio City
Studio City is inside City of Los Angeles limits. That means a sale here pays the Los Angeles County documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, plus the City of Los Angeles transfer tax of $4.50 per $1,000, about 0.56% of the sale price combined.
Above $5,400,000, Measure ULA also applies, at 4% of the entire gross sale price, not just the portion above the threshold, and not reduced by your mortgage or your original purchase price.
