Why an HPOZ?

The reason for starting and sticking with this long and arduous task of creating Stonehurst HPOZ is to protect our neighborhood. We strive to keep the charm and uniqueness of our special area. This community will be sought out by those who are looking for the exceptional lifestyle we share. It will also be sought out by those who would want to destroy it.

We have a distinctive way of life here in Shadow Hills. This lifestyle is a rare commodity in any city. We have large parcels of land, agricultural zoning and quaint historic homes. To some this is a rare jewel in the crown of Los Angeles. Others see our community as a bank roll…tear down those tiny, old, houses and build something big, boring and cheap. Mansionization is easy…what we have is exceptional!
