Burbank Reviews
Rating 4.25 out of 5 348 reviews
We love living in Burbank! It is a small-town vibe in a place that is the headquarters for some of the world's most well-known media companies. Burbank's municipal services are independent from the city of LA. The schools are highly rated but teachers are poorly paid. As the teacher shortage continues, I am sure that we will lose good teachers to higher-paying districts.
It's generally safe, there are grocery stores that are open late and great views of Griffith Park and surrounding hills. There are lots of local birds, squirrels and racoons to be spotted on neighborhood strolls. People are typically friendly, but you might get followed around the local grocery store if you're dressed too casual, which is definitely something I wish would change. I also wish the streets were more pedestrian friendly and had more crosswalks. High traffic, four plus lane two way roads next to areas full of homes and apartments lack crosswalks, so even getting to a local grocery store across the street from you can become a ten minute walk.
The amenities available in Burbank are amazing. There are so many great restaurants to eat for every appetite. The parks are safe enough for families to play and I am in love with the views of the mountains. The only issue that I am working on fixing in my neighborhood is the amount of dog waste that is left behind that deteriorates the quality in good neighborhoods. Writing to the city to have more dog bag posts available has been successful. I am hopeful of this neighborhood 5 star!
