This my little neighborhood, as you can see it's quite diverse. There are not a lot of latinos, or black people, but it's not uncommon to see both groups in the area. At the park, it's also not unusual to hear so many different accents. What's interesting is I hear a lot of the black people in the area with either a African, or a British accent. There are definitely a lot of foreign born neighbors, from Persians, Armenians, Russians, Jews, and Indians.
I live in Woodland Hills, but the section that known as the Warner Center. I guess you can say it's considered the downtown or business district of the west SFV. There are a few modern high-rises (offices, hotels), a movie theater and two malls, one outdoor and one enclosed but they are now building a new outdoor wing to it. It's a nice area not quite suburban, but sort of urban but not like downtown Glendale, or Burbank. You can definitely walk to get to most places in 10 minutes, from Costco, Traders Joes, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Target Ralphs, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and all in between. I really like the neighborhood, although it's rather busy and everyone is in a rush around here, I get the feeling from many of the residents, they love this area. Oh btw we have access to the the Orange Line that runs though here, so you can get to North Hollywood or to the subway to get into downtown if you want to avoid the horrible traffic on the 101. The other option is the LADOT freeway express into downtown just a few blocks away.

No I haven't been, and with the pandemic and also a 4 year old we haven't gone out much, but hopefully soon.
