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.

Just past Warner Brothers you enter Toluca Lake, a lovely village Riverside drive. Lots of shops and places to get lunch or walk around the mansions of Toluca Lake home to celebrities old and new.

A short walk away, Toluca Lake Village is a small town like area with restaurants, bars, shops and Trader Joes surrounded by celebrities's homes. Historic residents included Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and even Walt Disney's brother and partner Roy Disney. Many current celebrities now occupy these homes.

Wonderful neighborhood for easy shopping and parking, post office, groceries, banks, great restaurants. 2 miles north. Right now feels very 1940's which is kind of nice as the city develops so much else.
