My clients take me all over this beautiful city and it’s one of my favorite aspects of the job. There are so many beautiful pockets to explore! Recently, I've found myself spending a lot of time in the Valley with buyers who are in search of a little more space and a peaceful lifestyle. Among the many neighborhoods that have captured their attention, Sherman Oaks stands out for its picturesque tree-lined streets, top-rated schools, and a plethora of restaurants. What's more, Sherman Oaks is just a short drive away from the glitz and glamor of Beverly Hills and Bel Air. It also happens to be home to our very own, Carly Steinberg!  Here are just a few of our favorite places in Sherman Oaks.
