Candelaria Casitas

Relax & Rejuvinate

What We Love

We absolutely love living in Granada Hills—a hidden gem that blends natural beauty with timeless charm. This peaceful, tree-filled neighborhood features a mix of beautifully renovated homes and original 1970s architecture, all nestled on spacious 1+ acre lots shaded by majestic oaks and other mature trees. Though the streets don't have sidewalks, they're quiet and exclusive to the neighborhood, making them perfect for peaceful strolls, jogs, or evening bike rides. Just a short walk down Candelaria Drive and a left onto Espanola Trail, you'll find the neighborhood park and playground—a favorite gathering spot for families and neighbors alike.
