Living in Los Angeles: Burbank, CA
If Hollywood is the glammy face of Los Angeles’ entertainment industry, Burbank is the brain at work behind the curtain.
Though Burbank charms with its Pleasantville feel - think small town with mom and pop shops and suburban quiet and convenience - Burbank is headquarters for major entertainment companies - think ABC, NBC, Nickelodeon, The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., and more - and only a fast drive away from Hollywood’s hip.
Largely upper middle-class and home to entertainment executives and employees, Burbank’s safe and sound is protected by the city’s own police and fire departments. Shop Burbank Village, power lunch downtown and enjoy free wifi, play at Los Angeles Equestrian Center, get away from LA while living in LA.
