A SMALL COMMUNITY THAT’S BIG ON LUXURY
Los Angeles offers no shortage of surprises, but perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that the bustling city is home to a small natural lake.
Tiny as Toluca Lake might be, however, it has become a tony neighborhood with an outsized reputation for luxury. Its scenic views are complemented by grand homes, many of which are owned by Hollywood A-listers. Indeed, industry legends such as Bob Hope, Betty Davis, and Bing Crosby have owned properties here.
Another major draw for its high-profile residents? Toluca Lake is a gated community where privacy is paramount. If it’s exclusivity you’re after, this deluxe L.A. neighborhood will tick all your boxes.
FAST FACTS ABOUT TOLUCA LAKE

LIVING IN TOLUCA LAKE
Toluca Lake’s small-town vibe is unsurprising given its diminutive size of just 1.22 square miles. That said, the community has every major convenience and amenity you’d expect from a prestigious L.A. address.
Schools
The neighborhood is served by Toluca Lake Elementary School and Toluca Crossroads Preschool & Kindergarten, a private institution. Residents can also send their kids to nearby schools like The Science Academy STEM Magnet and Larchmont Charter School, both of which are rated A+ by Niche.com.
Shopping & Dining
Riverside Drive is home to Toluca Lake’s shopping district, which features one-of-a-kind boutiques like Pergolina, a carefully curated gift shop and lifestyle store. Have the kids in tow? Then the outdoor mall Universal CityWalk in Universal Studios is the perfect shopping destination.
Toluca Lake has its fair share of charming restaurants, too, including Bob’s Big Boy, home of the original double-deck hamburger and a favorite of Bob Hope, perhaps the area’s most famous former resident. Another local favorite is Priscilla’s Coffee, whose brews, smoothies, and pastries are sure to make your day delightful.
Leisure & Fitness
Being a gated community, Toluca Lake offers very pedestrian-friendly streets that are ideal for joggers and bikers alike. You can also sweat it out at the Toluca Lake & Fitness Club, whose deluxe facilities are beloved by discerning locals.
To wind down, just take a leisurely stroll alongside the lake itself. Alternatively, you can also visit the fairways at Lakeside Golf Club where you swing your worries away.
Local Attractions
Toluca Lake’s ideal destination means there’s always something fascinating to explore around the neighborhood. Take for instance Universal Studios Hollywood, whose cinema-inspired theme park rides and studio tours are testaments to the magic of moviemaking. If you want to indulge your artistic spirit, head over to the NoHo Arts District, a trendy area that’s teeming with art galleries, theaters, murals, and cinemas. Lovers of architecture should also visit St. Charles Borromeo Parish, which was built in the 1920s and boasts an opulent colonial-style design.
