Studio City
is a district located within Los Angeles, roughly bounded by Ethel Avenue to the west, U.S. Route 101 to the north and east and Mulholland Drive to the south. Studio City earned its name in the 1920s when Mack Sennett started filming in the area. His soundstages, the Mack Sennett Studios, later became Republic Pictures Studio, which today are used by CBS. Route 101 connects Studio City to Los Angeles’ vast network of freeways. Access to other parts of the city is also provided by Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevards. Attractions in Studio City include the CBS Studio Center and a Farmers Market that is held every Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Shopping on Ventura Boulevard includes everything from rare antiques to clothes, jewelry and chic coffee shops. Coldwater Canyon Park is located in Studio City Hills and is open year round from sunrise to sunset. This 44-acre park includes seven miles of hiking trails, organic gardens, a fruit orchard, tree nursery and educational displays. The Los Angeles River, with pedestrian walkways, also runs through the neighborhood. Studio City is convenient to all of Los Angeles’ attractions, such as Universal Studios, the NOHO Arts District, Hollywood Bowl, downtown Hollywood and more.

Studio City Weather & Climate

Southern California enjoys a mild year round climate that is classified as Mediterranean. There are two distinct seasonal changes, categorized by the amount of rainfall received - a dry summer and wet winter with modest variation in temperature. In the dry season, a Pacific high-pressure system dominates the weather pattern creating warm and very dry air and a thick marine layer that typically advances inland during the night and burns off to hazy sunshine by midday. Surface pollutants trapped under the marine layer, or fog, create L.A.'s infamous "smog." In winter, the high system is no longer dominant and storms fed by subtropical moisture bring lots of rain into southern California during the months of November through March. Afternoon sea breezes of 10 to 15 mph are common. Strong offshore winds, known as "Santa Anas," though not uncommon, rarely cause damage.
