Coldwater Canyon Avenue begins at a
Y intersection
with
North Beverly Drive
in
Beverly Hills
in the
Westside region
of Los Angeles. It then heads north within
the canyon of the same name
, running perpendicular to and then over the central
Santa Monica Mountains
, then descends into the eastern portion of the
San Fernando Valley
, continuing through that valley to Roscoe Boulevard. It parallels
Laurel Canyon Boulevard
for its entire length. Communities it passes through include Beverly Hills,
Sherman Oaks
,
Valley Glen
and
Van Nuys
. When passing through the
Studio City
community of Los Angeles, Coldwater Canyon Avenue crosses the main
Los Angeles River
, then runs along the west side of the north?south fork of
Tujunga Wash
, before crossing the wash to its east side, as the road continues north through the Valley Glen community. Coldwater Canyon Avenue continues north, parallel but at a steadily greater distance from Tujunga Wash. Coldwater Canyon Avenue moves closer to the east side of Tujunga Wash just before becoming the northeasterly Sheldon Street at a crossroad intersection with Roscoe Boulevard, in the western portion of the
Sun Valley
community of Los Angeles.
Coldwater Canyon Avenue is a busy thoroughfare, particularly as it winds through, and over, the Santa Monica Mountains between Beverly Hills and the San Fernando Valley. In this specific area, the neighborhoods are highly affluent.
