Woodland hills is out the a$$ end of The Valley. It's very hot, very suburban and extraordinarily boring unless you don't ever leave your house (which, admittedly, we all may never do again). Personally I couldn't live there - I need it cooler, closer to either the city or the ocean, and lots of walkable options. Honestly, the best thing I can think of about Woodland Hills is that it's very close to Norman's Rare Guitars.

That all being said, it all comes down to personal preference. If you are good with that kind of a place then no reason not to live there, and on the other hand if you are not cool with it but are open to a commute there are a lot of "more interesting" places to live within a 45-minute to an hour drive.

I'm in the South Bay (Hermosa Beach) where I can walk to everything I need, its a reasonable drive into LA/Hollywood and about 20+ degrees cooler than The Valley most of the year.

I moved out of the L.A. area 34 years ago and never looked back. Ever since then, I've been living in Groovy Beach which is 15 minutes south of beautiful San Luis Obispo. If someone suggested to me to move to Woodland Hills, I would do one of these...:

That's why I enjoy where I'm at. Winter is just an inconvenience that makes you enjoy the hell out of spring and fall. We tend to gripe about summers here, but being 1/2 mile from the North Atlantic makes pretty much everything more enjoyable. When I drive over the hill by the high school after getting off of the highway, I feel a temperature drop and can smell the salt air. If I can ever go in public again, Salem and Gloucester have a ton of gifts as far as the arts communities go. Then Boston is only a short drive or train ride away. Also, within two hours, I have Portland, ME, Portsmouth, NH, Providence, RI, Worcester, MA, and Springfield, MA to go find other fun things to do.

Also, living in an old port city (est. 1626), there's not much I can't walk to.

Fortunately, I still have plenty of options here. At least eight really good shops within 1 1/2 hours drive for me. Even more a little further away. Since we have always had large arts communities (and large population with traditionally low unemployment), music stores survived people trying to save five cents buying online, shuttering all the independent shops in some areas.

I used to live in Grover before I migrated here. Given Grover is a mellow spot with cool ocean breezes.
I used to crank Marshalls in the garage until the Police showed up.

1626? That was a great year!
