Encino is a wealthy residential and commercial corridor along Ventura Blvd in the western Valley. The neighborhood's demographics produce premium rideshare passengers — business professionals, healthcare workers at Encino Hospital, and diners at the packed restaurant row.
Encino sits between Tarzana to the west and Sherman Oaks to the east along the 101 corridor. Its proximity to the Sepulveda Basin and quick 101 access make it a good base for Valley-wide coverage throughout the day.
