The Burbank Rancho Equestrian District

One of LA's most unique and beloved neighborhoods — and Will's home for nearly 20 years.

Tucked into the foothills of Burbank, the Rancho Equestrian District is
unlike any other neighborhood in Los Angeles. With dedicated horse trails
winding through the streets, mature sycamore trees lining the roads, and a
genuine small-town community feel — the Rancho is a rare find in the heart
of one of the world’s great cities. I’ve lived here for nearly 20 years,
and I’ve watched this neighborhood grow and evolve while holding onto
everything that makes it special. Whether you’re a horse owner, a family
looking for space and community, or simply someone who wants a home that
feels different from the rest of LA — the Rancho delivers.

 The Rancho’s approximately 600-750 homes sit on generous lots, many with
direct access to the equestrian trail system. The neighborhood is served
by some of Burbank’s top-rated schools, and its proximity to the 5, 134,
and 101 freeways makes it surprisingly easy to get anywhere in LA — while
still feeling like a world away. Neighborhood traditions run deep here.
From the annual Thanksgiving Pie Giveaway to the Holiday Raffle and
Valentine’s Chocolate Giveaway, the Rancho’s residents take pride in
knowing their neighbors. It’s the kind of place where people stay for
decades — and where horses still walk past your front door on a Tuesday
morning.
