Some neighborhoods make a beautiful first impression. Others make you want to stay.
While representing 4709 Dunman Avenue, I’ve met neighbors who have called this pocket of Woodland Hills home for years. Those conversations say something meaningful about the neighborhood. People have built lives here, settled into familiar routines, and found reasons to stay through different chapters.
Spend an evening in the courtyard, looking toward the mountains as the Valley lights begin to glow, and you can start to understand why.
South of Ventura Boulevard, this hillside setting offers a combination I find especially appealing: tranquility, space, and privacy, with shopping, dining, schools, and weekend traditions nearby. Here are five reasons to take a closer look.
1. A hillside setting that feels like coming home
There’s something calming about this pocket of Woodland Hills. The hills, established landscaping, wide residential streets, and mountain views give it a sense of breathing room.
At 4709 Dunman Avenue, that feeling carries into the outdoor spaces. A brick courtyard framed by olive trees, a fountain, and an outdoor fireplace offers a welcoming place to spend time. A raised seating area looks across the Valley toward the northern mountains.
Morning coffee, a quiet afternoon, or a glass of wine at sunset—it’s easy to picture these simple moments becoming favorite daily rituals.
At our recent twilight open house, visiting agents commented on the home’s energy, privacy, and courtyard setting. One agent who grew up in Calabasas shared:
“What a beautiful, unique home - from the energy to the views. I'm thrilled I was able to attend and experience the space in person. Thank you for hosting”
2. Saturday mornings at the Calabasas Farmers’ Market
The nearby Calabasas Farmers’ Market is one of my favorite reasons to love this location.
Held Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Old Town Calabasas, the market brings together fresh produce, baked goods, specialty foods, and local vendors.
I love the idea of taking your time browsing, picking up something fresh for dinner, and making the market part of your weekend. These are the small routines that help you feel connected to where you live.
A home’s appeal extends beyond its front door. Sometimes it’s the places you look forward to visiting every week.
3. Shopping and dining with plenty of choice
A tranquil hillside setting feels even more appealing when everyday conveniences remain within reach.
Westfield Topanga offers shopping, restaurants, and movies, while The Commons at Calabasas provides an open-air setting for browsing, meeting friends, or sitting down for a meal. Dining options include King’s Fish House, SUGARFISH, and Toscanova.
Ventura Boulevard adds more choices for restaurants, coffee, and everyday errands.
Whether you’re planning a casual lunch, dinner out, or an afternoon of shopping, there’s plenty to enjoy in the surrounding area—and a peaceful setting to return to afterward.
4. Local schools worth exploring
For buyers considering educational options, nearby schools include Calabash Charter Academy, Hale Charter Academy, and El Camino Real Charter High School.
Calabash emphasizes art, health, and technology, supported by an active parent organization. Hale was named a 2026 California Distinguished School, and El Camino Real has earned nine national Academic Decathlon titles.
These programs and achievements give buyers specific reasons to explore the area’s schools and consider which options fit their needs.
Buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries, eligibility, and enrollment requirements directly with the district and individual schools.
5. Space to enjoy today and make your own over time
Part of what makes a home feel like a lasting fit is its ability to accommodate changing needs.
At 4709 Dunman, five bedrooms provide flexibility for sleeping, working, hosting, or pursuing a hobby. The downstairs primary suite opens through French doors to the courtyard, creating an inviting connection between indoors and out. Four upstairs bedrooms offer additional possibilities.
Outside, the pool, level lawn, courtyard, and gathering areas provide different places to spend the day. You can entertain, find a quiet corner, or simply enjoy being home.
Visiting agents also recognized the opportunity to personalize the space. The home already has character, with room for its next owner to bring their own style and vision.
After meeting neighbors who have stayed for years, I understand why this part of Woodland Hills can inspire the idea of a forever home. The views may catch your attention first, but the everyday experience—the quiet moments, familiar places, and room to settle in—is what makes you picture staying.
