Walnut Acres sits on land once planted by the Diamond Walnut Company, whose groves here were reported to be among the largest walnut orchards in the world. The orchards gave way to homes in the 1940s and 1950s, and the neighborhood kept the scale of its farming past.
The area is zoned RA (Residential Agricultural), which permits horses and other animals. That is rare in Woodland Hills and in most of the San Fernando Valley. Lots typically run from about half an acre up to two acres, and they are flat, which makes them easy to build on and easy to live on.
Many of the original ranch houses have been rebuilt or remodeled, so a single street can hold a mid-century ranch next to a newly built estate with a pool, guest house, and sports court. Two-acre parcels are scarce and come to market only occasionally.
