Every city has its own charm. It doesn’t matter if you’re moving across country or just a couple towns over, each town has its charm and history. Where do I want to get moving this time? Reseda, CA! Reseda  is a district in Los Angeles, California. Once an agricultural town, Reseda grew into one of the first suburbs of the San Fernando Valley. People keep moving to Reseda, and Reseda keeps changing!

Once upon a time, Reseda was a flourishing community just starting out! Sherman Way, the main street of Reseda, was full of hustle and bustle featuring a J.C. Penny department store, a J.J. Newberry five and dime, and even an ice skating rink!  The centerpiece of this community was the iconic Reseda Theater showcasing double feature movies. It was a sight to see as you were driving down Sherman Way.

Reseda developed into a more suburban area filled with more and more homes because more and more people were moving to Reseda! Reseda is still changing to keep up, even the Reseda Theater is changing to keep up with all the people moving to Reseda. It is currently abandoned, but there are plans to update this iconic building of Reseda into a new location for community activities.

Speaking of community, you’ll often find the residents of Reseda taking a stroll at Reseda Park by the relaxing duck pond. It’s a favorite spot of families to feed the ducks. Get moving to Reseda, slow down and take a walk and feed some ducks.
