Tucked in the heart of LA’s San Fernando Valley, Van Nuys is an unpolished gem where suburban grit meets pockets of unexpected charm. Known for its historic airport and no-frills authenticity, it offers a different side of Los Angeles—one that’s more local than luxe. From classic diners to quiet parks, Van Nuys invites curious travelers to explore LA beyond the spotlight.
Located off of the Southwestern Pacific Coast of California, Van Nuys is located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. Its main expressway, Van Nuys Boulevard, is home to many aerospace businesses, which has led to the growth and expansion of the city.
Named after city developer Isaac Newton Van Nuys, the city was annexed by Los Angeles in 1915. Van Nuys is a popular destination in the San Fernando Valley for air charter consumers because of Van Nuys Airport (VNY), one of the busiest in the area after Los Angeles International (LAX).
As Van Nuys neighbors the most populous city in the nation next, it joins LA as a center for business, international trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, and science and technology. It has a moderately diverse population with a steady economy, which includes many businesses within its commercial district.
Van Nuys is close in proximity to LA and the beach communities of Santa Monica, Malibu, Venice Beach, and Pacific Palisades. Flying by private jet charter to Van Nuys is the best way to get to and from the City of Angels.

The 6.5-acre space features three gardens and is an oasis within the city, with waterfalls, lakes and streams, abundant greenery, and stone lanterns imported from Japan. It also features a traditional Japanese teahouse. Next to the gardens is the Woodley Park Archers, which offers free archery lessons (equipment included) every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning.
