History of Knollwood
Knollwood was originally in the plans
for the Bob Hope-Dean Martin golf course development but later became
a neighborhood of it's own. Early plans that date back to 1961 and
have been referenced in the May 28,1961 issue of Van Nuys News
report that the Knollwood area
was to be a planned luxury development consisting of 250 homes.
Although many of those planned homes are in the area there are
discrepancies as to whether the planned Knollwood Country Club
Estates is actually a part of today's Knollwood.
Description of Knollwood
Knollwood consists of 250 half acre
estates with homes that are built along the Knollwood Country Club
golf course which is actually located in the nearby Granada Hills
area of Los Angeles. Knollwood is located in the Granada Hills
neighborhood just north of Rinaldi Street and to the east of Balboa
Boulevard. The Knollwood Country Club golf course borders the
planned unit development to the east as well. Annual mandatory
membership fees are collected from all residents of Knollwood and as
a result members are afforded various social events including a
Halloween House, annual block party and neighborhood patrol services.
Residents of Knollwood
All residents of Knollwood who own
homes are members of the Knollwood Property Owners' Association.
They are regulated by various conditions and covenants as well as
restrictions that are contained in their real property deeds. The
residents are primarily white collar workers with a median household
income of $91,000.
Rentals in Knollwood
Rentals in Knollwood are hard to come
by as the area is strictly regulated by the Knollwood Property
Owners' Association. If you do find a rental home in Knollwood it
will likely have the California Ranch style appeal or a Mid-century
modern style that features a well manicured and full landscaped lot.
All of the rentals in Knollwood are built on half acre lots.
Fun Things to do in Knollwood
Knollwood residents have the option of
taking part in various events that are offered within the community
on an annual basis. The Knollwood annual block part is held here and
an annual Halloween House is also offered to residents for fun.
Other social events are also held in the Knollwood community for
residents so there's almost always something fun for kids or adults
to take part in close to home.
