The Topanga neighborhood is all that lies in Topanga Canyon (South of Ventura Blvd.), Southern California. Topanga Canyon is actually considered a freeway although it's really just a busy street that runs through the entirety of the San Fernando Valley. Topanga though, "the neighborhood" is just the canyon that runs from the Valley to the beach, and in this area is a bohemian locale of houses, shops, and a great community of people. Those looking to rent a home in this area also search house rentals in Malibu, CA. Every year this area puts on a festival called Topanga Days, which is a throw back to the 1960s! Everyone gathers for face painting, hoola-hooping, and listen to live music while they have a beer. This is a really great area to find a home that is nestled in the mountains. These homes aren't cheap though! The Canyon dumps out at Malibu so go figure...
