GEOGRAPHY
Located in the eastern portion of the San Fernando Valley, North Hollywood is bounded by Valley Village on the west, Sun Valley on the north, Burbank on the east and Toluca Lake/Universal City on the southeast. The eastern and southeastern portions of the area are home to many of the entertainment studios.
TRANSPORTATION
North Hollywood offers residents convenient access to many of the surrounding areas via public transportation. A Metro Rail station is located here, the MTA North Hollywood Subway station of the Red Line which is the starting point for the entire Los Angeles Subway System, and the terminus of the Metro Orange Line busway, with its route to Warner Center, is across the street. With the introduction of the Red Line and the Orange Line, the two lines have made the city into a regional hub for the San Fernando Valley.
The North Hollywood Subway Station will offer easy access to the highly anticipated Metro Studio @ Lankershim. According to www.metrostudiolankershim.com "NBC Universal announced plans to create its West Coast News and Content Center at Metro Studio @ Lankershim, and also intends for Metro Studio @ Lankershim to serve as home to NBC Network News' Los Angeles Bureau, KNBC, KVEA, and Access Hollywood."
Located at the Metro Rail's Universal City Station (one stop away from the North Hollywood Subway Station), "the Metro Studio @ Lankershim will encourage employees to take public transit to and from work, minimizing the impacts on the local neighborhood."
