The Oaks

"Beautiful area, mostly single family home communities. Well equipped with stores and restaurants and right off the freeway so easy commute, (if that's possible around LA!?)"

"beautiful mall, great for walking, shopping, eating, and even meditation and personal growth. Surprisingly, I found it was the perfect location, in the outdoor portion of the mall, for the Tushita Kadampa Buddhist Center. Makes the mall feel much more like a community center. And across the street, across Hillcrest, you'll find a wonderful community theater where actors from age 7 to 99 will take you on another type, but equally rejuvenating, journey."

"Farmer's market every thursday, You can pay by card or cash. Brewery and ATM nearby, it's a match ;) Other stores around. No pets, No bikes - I disagree. Cyclists and dogs love farmer's markets ;)"

"Nice shopping center filled with everything from clothing, Jewelry, and restaurants. Right next to the Dine-In AMC theater. The H&M here has a better children's selection than the one at the Collections at Riverpark. I recommend stopping by Itala and grabbing an espresso, then heading to Jumpify to let the little ones release some of their energy. Finish it off with a walk through Macy's, Jcpenney, or Nordstroms."

"Spacious modern shopping mall with good anchor department stores. The mall is decorated with old California Spanish designs and is separated into two sections; one indoor and another outdoor. Unfortunately many shops were empty or closed. The brands there are mid range and are more affordable to the ordinary folks. Parking was ample and other than the food court seating area, the mall was clean and tidy."
