Celebrate Life in Pacoima Homes

Richie Valens, who turned La Bamba into a rock and roll sensation in the 1950s was born in Pacoima, California. Boxer Bobby Chacon and football player Anthony Davis were also born here. The defeat of Mr. Davis by Archie Griffin for the 1974 Heisman Trophy changed the voting procedure for that prestigious sports award. At different times, Academy Award-nominated actor Leonardo di Caprio and Cheech Marin, comedian, actor and respected collector of Hispanic art, have also made their homes here. Pacoima homes may convey some of this creative genius to homebuyer’s. Natural Balance Pet Foods, founded by television actor Dick Van Patten, took shape here. It continues to be manufactured in this San Fernando Valley community north of downtown Los Angeles. Juicy Couture, the fashion label that made track suits acceptable party clothes, first took root in Pacoima. Maybe there is something in the water in Pacoima, California. Successful ideas and people always seem to come from this area. What will your success story be?
