City of Van Nuys

City of Van Nuys

The city is the heart of the San Fernando Valley and home to about 100,000+ people; the main thoroughfare, Van Nuys Boulevard, is noted for its car dealerships.

According to the LA Times, ”The neighborhood became a melting pot of ethnic groups and various home styles.”

Van Nuys used to be the home of a major manufacturing plant for Chevrolet. When the plant was dismantled the site was converted into a shopping mall called The Plant.
