Location

Location & Neighborhood

5511 Ethel Ave, Sherman Oaks, CA 91401

5511 Ethel sits at Ethel Avenue and Albers Street in Sherman Oaks, directly across from Los Angeles Valley College, one of the region's largest commuter colleges with no on-campus housing and a deep source of affordable rental demand. The site is within a quarter mile of a major transit stop on the Metro G Line busway corridor, the designation that unlocks its TOC Tier 3 and AB 2097 benefits, and minutes from Ventura Boulevard retail and the Valley's employment corridors. New affordable product here serves a submarket where demand is proven and supply is structurally constrained.
