Not everyone wants to drive every mile. If you're looking for apartments near public transit in Sun Valley, CA, here's a realistic picture of the rail and bus options in the neighborhood, how they fit into daily life, and where Sun Valley Apartments fits in.

A Metrolink Station in the Neighborhood

Sun Valley has its own Metrolink station on San Fernando Road, served by the Antelope Valley Line, which runs between Los Angeles Union Station and Lancaster. Recent schedule information shows about 30 trains each weekday, 15 in each direction, with reduced service on weekends. Schedules change, so it's worth checking Metrolink directly before you plan a regular commute around it.

Metro Bus Service

Los Angeles Metro buses serve the neighborhood, with roughly 90 bus stops throughout Sun Valley, and Metro bus service connects to the Metrolink station. For trips to Burbank, North Hollywood, and other nearby communities, a bus can be a practical alternative to driving and parking.

A Realistic Picture of Getting Around

Sun Valley is a car-friendly neighborhood. Neighborhood data puts its transit score in the mid-40s out of 100 and its walk score in the mid-50s, which means public transit works well for certain trips, such as heading toward Downtown LA by rail, but most residents still rely on a car for day-to-day errands. Many renters land on a mix: transit for some commutes, driving for the rest.

Freeway and Airport Access for Everything Else

For trips where a car makes more sense, Sun Valley Apartments sits less than a mile from the I-5 and about three miles from Hollywood Burbank Airport, so you aren't forced to choose between transit and driving.

Tips for Renters Who Want to Drive Less

•      Ask our leasing team how far your specific building is from the nearest bus stop and the Metrolink station

•      Test your actual commute, including the walk to the stop, at the time of day you'll travel

•      Check current Metrolink and Metro schedules for the hours you need, especially for early or late shifts

•      Keep off-street parking in mind if you want the option of owning a car later

Amenities for Car-Light and Car-Owning Residents Alike

•      Off-street parking at the community

•      On-site laundry facilities, saving a trip to a laundromat

•      Online rent payments and maintenance requests, so day-to-day logistics don't require a trip to the office

•      A pool and lounge area and an on-site recreation room close to home

See How the Commute Works for You

Sun Valley Apartments offers studio through three-bedroom floor plans from $1,895 to $2,495 a month. Call 213-804-4431 or email leasing@sunvalleyla.com to check current availability and ask about transit options near each building.
