Toluca Lake is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles. It is situated in the southeastern San Fernando Valley between the city of Burbank, the Los Angeles district of North Hollywood and the unincorporated county area of Universal City. The area's historic boundaries are Cahuenga Boulevard, Clybourn Avenue, Camarillo Street and the Los Angeles River.
An upscale community marked by tranquil neighborhoods, it is 12 miles north of downtown Los Angeles and favored by Hollywood professionals looking to get "out of the city," while still residing within the L.A. City limits. It is located between two major studios, Universal Studios to the south and Warner Bros. to the east.
The Santa Monica Mountains surround the quiet, picturesque streets and provide plenty of recreational opportunities. The six-acre Toluca Lake offers fishing, swimming and boating.
About The Valley
The San Fernando Valley has no American counterpart. Encircled by five ranges of mountains and hills, the basin could hold all of San Francisco, Boston and Washington, D.C. combined. The population of 1.7 million is more people than live in a dozen states.
The Valley has a story all its own that dates back two centuries. Vaqueros, outlaws and battling armies are part of the lore, as are Lucy and Desi, Gable and Lombard and Marilyn Monroe. It's the birthplace of Valley Girls, the subtext for Chinatown and Boogie Nights, the home turf of Disney, ABC, Universal & Warner Bros. The Valley today is the multi-cultural melting pot for Los Angeles?and growing all the time.
