Woodland Hills is a neighborhood bordering the Santa Monica Mountains in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California, United States.

The area was inhabited for around 8,000 years by Native Americans of the Fernandeño-Tataviam and Chumash-Venturaño tribes, who lived in the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills and close to the Arroyo Calabasas (Calabasas Creek) tributary of the Los Angeles River in present-day Woodland Hills.

[2][3] The first Europeans to enter the San Fernando Valley were the Portola Expedition in 1769, exploring Alta California for Spanish mission and settlement locations.

[5] Ownership of the southern half of the valley, south of present-day Roscoe Boulevard from Toluca Lake to Woodland Hills, by Americans began in the 1860s.

[8] His 300 pepper trees, forming a canopy over Canoga Avenue between Ventura Boulevard and Saltillo Street, became Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #93 in 1972.

In population, it is one of the least dense neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and the percentage of white people is high for the county.

[18] The 2008 Los Angeles Times's "Mapping L.A." project supplied these Woodland Hills neighborhood statistics: population: 59,661; median household income: $93,720.

[26] Along the western boundary of Woodland Hills is the large Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve, a regional park with a trail network for miles of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian rides.

The Top of Topanga Overlook gives panoramic views of the verdant Woodland Hills neighborhoods and the Valley.

[29] Woodland Hills is located within Los Angeles City Council District 3 represented by Bob Blumenfield.

[48] Lycée Français de Los Angeles operated a San Fernando Valley campus in Woodland Hills,[49] on the site of Platt Elementary School.

The Los Angeles Police Department operates the Topanga Division station in Canoga Park[53] which provides service to the Woodland Hills area.
