Because of many things, Encino is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Encino a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Encino has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Encino’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Encino is worth considering.
One downside of living in Encino, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 40.71 minutes every day commuting to work.
Encino is a small town, and as is often the case with smaller towns, the population isn't large or dense enough to support much in the way of a public transportation system. In fact, there are many rural roads around Encino, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 100.00% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.
As is often the case in a small town, Encino doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
