History

The area of Sherwood Forest had a subdivision of large estates with small ranches and one to a couple of acres of land with tall trees; the main thoroughfare, Parthenia Street, was lined with cedar trees and the subdivision was named Sherwood Forest by realtors.It had the residences of multiple local celebrities like character actor Walter Brennan, Lloyd Bridges, Jim Davis, Richard Pryor who lived on Parthenia Street in the 1980s, and Hollywood animator Abe Levitow, plus Founder and President of Rocketdyne, William Guy.[6]

The neighborhood existed informally for decades within the neighborhood of Northridge and eventually had its own Homeowners Association, becoming one of the most active in the region. In 2012, the community won the Los Angeles City Council's official recognition as a separate neighborhood with an 11–0 vote.[4]

The major west-east thoroughfares in the neighborhood are Nordhoff Street, which forms the neighborhood's northern boundary, and Parthenia Street which passes through the center of the neighborhood. The major north–south thoroughfares are Lindley Avenue and Balboa Boulevard, which bound the neighborhood on the west and east respectively and the latter being the most important of the two. White Oak and Louise Avenues are two smaller but notable north–south streets that provide more local connections in the neighborhood. These major and secondary roads are arranged in a grid pattern, as is the case in most of the San Fernando Valley's roads; residential streets are also generally arranged in a grid, but some are more curved and are cul-de-sacs. There is no designated bicycle infrastructure in the neighborhood.[22]
