Sherwood Forest Homes For Sale – Houses with Views and New Homes

Sherwood Forest Homes

SHERWOOD FOREST HOMES FOR SALE | NEW HOMES

The newly recognized community of Sherwood Forest is located in the Southern portion of Northridge. The neighborhood received a new proclamation of its independence in 2013 with word that the U.S. Postal Service has begun recognition of the area as a valid mailing address.

“The large tree-lined tract homes in this newly named community gives it the distinction that it has been recognized by the City of Los Angeles and the federal government,” Sherman said. Councilman Mitch Englander, a supporter of officially recognizing the district by the City Council, said the ZIP code designation will add a sense of genuine community. Englander, in August 2012, won council approval of a petition from the Sherwood Forest Homeowners Association to formally identify the community for planning purposes. FOR SALE | NEW HOMES

The area is bounded by Nordhoff Street to the north, Balboa Boulevard to the east, Southern Pacific railroad to the south and Lindley Avenue to the west. It includes around 1,200 properties and more than 4,800 residents.

The community of Sherwood Forest has existed, informally, for decades. In fact, the area was one of the original named tracts in the city, and the official recognition. The homeowner’s association is one of the most active in the area, and there are several homes for sale.

Sherwood Forest will remain part of the Northridge South Neighborhood Council.

The area is conveniently located close to CSUN, Northridge Fashion Center, Dearborn Park and MetroLink station.
