Toluca Lake is a hidden gem in LA. Keep an eye out for celebrity sightings! Toluca Lake is home to many famous residents and has been a popular filming location for movies and TV shows.

Toluca Lake is a very eclectic, safe and convenient residential neighborhood. It is closely located to many major attractions. All the Major studios are minutes away. Many quaint restaurants, pubs, lounges, grocery stores, coffee shops, gyms, theaters, and nearby hiking and nature trails.

We love this area for its small town vibe and only a 7 minute drive away. Tucked behind Universal City near Warner Bros. studio is the cozy 1.2 square miles of Toluca Lake. While it pales in stature to many L.A. neighborhoods, this tiny village packs a punch. Toluca Lake has been home to stars for many years. Meanwhile, it's name sake lake is only visible to view via the Lakeside Golf Club and surrounding houses. Some people live in the neighborhood their entire lives and never see the lake. The main drag and short stretch of Riverside Drive has many restaurants from fast food to sit down and includes a Trader Joes, Fedex, UPS.

Very special wealthy exclusive community where many actors choose to reside due to how many studios are located there. The neighborhood has had notable residents. Ronald and Nancy Reagan held their wedding reception in Toluca Lake. Comedian Bob Hope was a longtime resident of Toluca Lake. More recently, it has been the home of entertainers such as Hilary Duff, Viola Davis, Steve Carell, Miley Cyrus and Melissa McCarthy. Most can be seen at Patys the neighborhood cafe. We go there often. The food is all home style and so good. The best kept secret in Los Angeles and a good place to see movie stars! We’ve seen them all dining in the old style leather seated booths. I love this little city. The oldest Bobs Big Boy is here and you can take your car to one of the oldest car hop places. It is packed on Friday nights. Many people take their vintage cars there. Also...Magnolia Boulevard is LOADED with blocks full of amazing antique and thrift shops. The Cancer Discovery Shop gets a lot of actors donated clothes...i live to thrift . I have personally seen vintage Fendi, Gucci, Tom Ford and Hermès it’s the professional thrifters best kept private secret. They have a beautiful Morphe shop on Magnolia. Go to Jinya Ramen afterwards. They have a beautiful outdoor fire pit. The Ramen is amazing and the vibe is amazing. Porto’s is extremely popular with common wait lines. Their bakery is amazing. It does not get better. You will not be disappointed. There is a reason people wait in line!!!Lemonade is a great place to go to for lunch. Toluca Lake is the next little neighborhood next to us. It also has the closest Trader Joe’s. Great place to go to a studio tour (NBC is very popular) we went to The Ellen Show. We got lucky she gave away so much stuff and Pink sang! Go shopping and grab lunch.
