Moving to Burbank, CA? Here are 10 Reasons You'll LOVE IT!

Are you thinking about moving to Burbank, California? Well, I’ve got 10 reasons why you should!
Burbank is known as the media capital of the world. Home to many major studios like Warner Bros & The Walt Disney Company and so many other businesses that are essential to the industry. While Burbank is a hub of entertainment industry activity, it is also a community known for retaining its small-town warmth and charm, with a strong sense of community and civic pride.

I grew up in Burbank and miss it dearly. Living in the midwest now, but Burbank will always be home. 💜

I grew up in Burbank, BHS grad, I remember the Golden Mall, before SanFernando Bl. reopened. AMC cinemas parking lot is where the house I grew-up in on Cyprus used to be. Living in the northwest now, and I see it as one of the great accomplishments of my life to have escaped the Franchise Tax Board, Grey Davis, and now Awsome Newsom who is ten times worse. Small town feel? There are no small towns, it's all grown together there. Take a hint, don't try it untll you rent a few months; same for Tacoma.

Burbank is definitely a 1 of a kind living experience filled with great paying jobs as a bonus. Transportation overload makes getting to your destination of choice a breeze. Never mind the homeless encampment rumor because besides the police department Burbank is patrolled by the Russian and Arminian mafia 24/7 hence the extremely low crime rate.

[@vlowkii7759]

As someone who lived in Burbank for 9 years can confirm currently in North Carolina but Burbank will always be home😛

I lived in Burbank in the mid 60's after I got out of the Navy. Loved it there!! Sorry I ever left, but life, and love, got in the way. Been in the S.E. ever since. Now almost 77, and no way I could afford to live there now. But, man, I was loving the fun and sun there back then!! Great video!! Cheers!! :)

Your effervescent personality manages to shine through. My wife and I have been contemplating about moving to California for quite some time now. We simply need to find an area that corresponds with our pocketbook. Again, great job on the informative presentation.

[@LivinginBurbank]

Thank you Reza! Best wishes on finding the perfect CA location for you. It's a big state and there's a lot of places to move to. I think it depends on your particular situation and yes, your pocketbook too. Take care and thank you for watching!

[@rezathenightfly]

@@LivinginBurbank Of course you are quite right, Jennifer. As a matter of fact, before the onset of the seemingly unending pandemic, we were seriously considering moving to Pasadena, CA. We were on the cusp of picking a house out of four possible properties we had narrowed our search down to. But alas, the aforementioned COVID utterly upstaged our plans until further notice. Well, it was providential perchance? Be that as it may; I'm quite sanguine this too shall pass. All the best to you.

[@troynasello2085]

OMG! Burbank has a fire department, police department, utilities AND school district!? Now why doesn't every city have those services?

[@LivinginBurbank]

Hi Troy. Thank you for your comment and it sounds like I might need to clarify for you differences between Burbank and the surrounding areas. Burbank (population 105K in 2021) is located next to the city of Los Angeles, which is massive (over 3.8 million in 2021) and all those services you mentioned are shared/spread out amongst that city's residents. Also some unincorporated areas, which are also nearby within LA County do not have services dedicated specifically to their area/city. Having these services dedicated to just the residents of Burbank versus some of the other sets up nearby may be appealing to some people.

What area of Burbank do you recommend living for a small family with one child ? We are moving soon!

[@LivinginBurbank]

Hi Ari! There are several really great areas... I think it will depend on a few things, including your budget and your timeline. I live in the the Toluca Woods/Magnolia Park area and love it, but there are other really nice places like the Media and the Equestrian district. Feel free to contact me directly what any specific questions. I'll be doing more driving videos soon as well.

[@ahmadmawlawi4717]

Hi, I just want to ask few questions about Burbank Like, if I bought a house: How many years can I own it? Is there houses that are like Porter Ranch style houses which looks like villa but .. you know what I mean Third question is basically how much is their cost and what are the house bills you pay for an owned house? Thank you :)

[@LivinginBurbank]

Hi Ahmad, happy to provide you with the information. Burbank has all kinds of houses... not cookie cutter city at all. Please email me at [e-mail] the best way to contact you and I can contact you to answer your questions.

[@jaeisjaeh]

Thanks so much! I'm thinking of moving over there from South Africa...what are the apartment costs like?

[@LivinginBurbank]

Hi Jamie-Lee. So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Best sites to check out apartments for rent in my opinion are apartments.com & trulia.com. How much will depend on size, location, and amenities. It varies in different parts of the city. Best of luck to you & hope you get a chance to check out the area. Take care!

[@jaeisjaeh]

@@LivinginBurbank hi thanks so much ! I'll check those sites out ☺️ take care!!

[@mikeg3439]

Add an eleventh: because you have a crap-ton of money so money is no object. But I support your opinion overall on this. I've lived in So-Cal most of my 52 years and Burbank has some real plus-points compared to other areas of the valley. It also has Tim Conway Jr, ding dong.

Thanks Mike! Yes, So-Cal homes prices are on the rise for sure!

Hi. Would you happen to know how to find a affordable 1 bedroom private studio apartment in a gated community in Burbank near New York Film Academy? Would it be possible to find it in less than $2000

There are a few complexes on Barham Blvd, which are very close to NY Film Academy. Try googling apt on Barham Blvd. Not sure what current rents are, but I have noticed rents are higher now everywhere. Best of luck to you!

Hey wanted a head up where to rent or sublease in burbank as I am coming there for a course in MUD for 6month any suggestions 😀

[@LivinginBurbank]

Hi Archana. I would reach out to where you're doing the coursework to see if there are nearby apartments doing 6 mth leases or if there is a bulletin board on site with postings for roommates and/or tenants. There are a few groups on Facebook like Gypsy housing where people offer short-term housing as well. Apartments.com & Trulia are other resources for rentals. Enjoy your time out here and your coursework! Take care and thank you for reaching out.

[@khosla15]

Is Burbank student friendly? I am a college student planning to move there, and is it very far from the main downtown LA?

[@LivinginBurbank]

Burbank is student friendly in that it has lots of public transportation and you can travel to DTLA by bus or metro train. It can be a bit of a commute though, so you would need to investigate that further. It will depend on the time of day you are traveling. By car, it can be as quick as 20 minutes, but an hour & half in traffic. There can be traffic at all times of the day here in the Burbank/LA. My recommendation would be to get a place close by school as long as you feel comfortable with the location. Check with the college housing department for more info.

[@khosla15]

@@LivinginBurbank thank you so much for the reply, actually my college is in Burbank itself but I was asking from the travelling and exploring Los Angeles perspective

[@LivinginBurbank]

@@khosla15 You'll be fine then. It's really easy to get around from Burbank. There's even a metro train that'll get you to Santa Monica (and the beach). Having a car is ideal in LA/Burbank, but even if you don't Burbank is a great homebase. Enjoy your time here!

[@mikeg3439]

it's middle of the road from my looking into it. Thing about California is depending on your skillset and ambition, you can make a crazy load of money working in California. In general, being a home-owner, family builder, career builder in the nicer burgs of So-Cal is not a sport for the faint of heart. My wife and I have done it but it took real blood sweat and tears, "making it" in So-Cal is a challenge. (We're Westridge Valencia, a golf community in the next valley over the hill from San Fernando Valley, so like 20 minutes from Burbank).
