[3] Located off Highway 101 near Boronda Road and North Main Street in the northern part of the city,[4] the single-story structure encompasses 976,913 sq ft (90,758 m2) of retail space.

Northridge Mall features more than 110 shops, two restaurants, a fast-food court with eight outlets (2 vacant), a Round One Entertainment, and three department stores including Hobby Lobby, JCPenney, and Macy's with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears.

It was not until the new south wing was added in 1982, that the pre-existing Sears outlet became part of the mall.

Macerich acquired Northridge Mall in 2003 from Northwestern Mutual for a purchase price of approximately $128.5 million.

[12] Also, Forever 21 moved from the anchor building next to JCPenney to a location inside the mall.

On May 16, 2024, Burlington announced that they would be opening a new location at the south end of the mall where the old Sears once resided.

The reason for the renovation's stop was because of concrete which had been poured on top of underground works without proper inspection.
