About Arleta

Arleta is a friendly community in the San Fernando Valley. It's considered part of Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and it's close to the communities of Mission Hills, North Hills, Sun Valley, Panorama City and Pacoima. Branford Park, with its community room, children's play area and illuminated sport courts, provides a variety of recreational opportunities.

The History of Arleta

In the 1800s, when California was a Mexican territory, immigrants from Mexico, Spain and India arrived and settled in the San Fernando Valley, including in the area now known as Arleta. Over the next two centuries, Arleta grew slowly but steadily. In the 1980s, filmmaker Robert Zemeckis chose Arleta as the neighborhood that Marty McFly, the hero of the "Back to the Future" movie trilogy, called home. Today, the character's home on Roslyndale Avenue is a major tourist attraction for movie buffs.

Retail is one of the strongest industries in Arleta. The community is famous as the home of Juicy Couture, a leading fashion label known for its loungewear, fragrances and handbags. There are also a number of stores along Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Woodman Avenue.
