Northridge is best known as the home of California State University, Northridge, and the campus shapes a lot of the neighborhood around it. Student rentals, apartment complexes and shared houses cluster near CSUN, while the rest of Northridge is solid single-family suburbia stretching north toward the 118. The 1994 earthquake took its name from here. For us that campus footprint means frequent rekeys at tenant turnover and a steady run of student lockouts.
Reaching you in Northridge
Reseda Boulevard and Nordhoff Street form the main crossroads near the university, with the CA-118 Ronald Reagan Freeway along the north edge and Balboa and Tampa Avenues as the key north-south routes. From West Hills, Northridge is a short drive northeast.

Around CSUN you find dense apartments, condos and student rentals; away from campus it is mostly mid-century single-family homes, some rebuilt or retrofitted after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Rental turnover near the university makes rekeying between tenants one of our most common jobs here.
