Toluca Lake is a district of the city of Los Angeles, 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. The private Lakeside Golf Club wraps around Toluca Lake.
The curving, tree-lined streets and diverse palate of homes is a favorite for television and movie scouts, and film crews are very frequent.
It is represented by City Councilman Tom LaBonge in the Los Angeles City Council.
It is also home to the first IHOP Restaurant.
