PANORAMA CITY, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

'Panorama City' is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California.
It is bordered by Arleta on the north, Sun Valley on the east, Van Nuys on the south, and North Hills on the west. Major thoroughfares include Roscoe, Van Nuys, and Sepulveda Boulevards. The district is served by the San Diego and Hollywood freeways.
Panorama City was developed as a planned community by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. Contrary to popular perceptions of the development of the central and western San Fernando Valley as solely being a bedroom community for jobs in downtown Los Angeles and Burbank, Panorama City originally included General Motors' largest assembly plant to date, as well as a Schlitz brewery that eventually came under the ownership of Anheuser-Busch.
As originally planned, the community is a mixture of small single-family homes and low-rise apartment buildings. Kaiser and his development partner Fritz Burns barred non-whites from purchasing homes in the new neighborhood. The area is now majority Latino and Filipino.
