Toluca Lake Real Estate
Toluca Lake Real Estate
Most of Toluca Lake real estate is located between Burbank and North Hollywood. It boasts many celebrity residents with the late Bob Hope being its most famous. Amelia Earhart, Frank Sinatra and William Holden all called this small community home at one time as well. In 1923 investors bought and developed the land as “Toluca Lake Park”. This initial venture in Toluca Lake real estate failed, but a new group soon took over, renaming the development company “The Toluca Lake Company”. With a vision of creating a first ‘bedroom community’ for Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, the company formally changed the name of the community to simply Toluca Lake, and adopted as their logo the “swan on rippled water” image still associated with the community today.
There is an actual lake that covers six acres of Toluca Lake homes for sale. It’s a historic lake that was fed by springs of upwelling groundwater from the substantial Los Angeles River and San Fernando Valley subterranean aquifers. In the 1930’s DWP surfaced the bottom of the lake with four inches of asphalt concrete to prevent seepage. It’s now stocked with fish for both recreational fishermen and enthusiasts as well – as long as you live on the lake. The Toluca Lake real estate that surrounds the lake consists of luxury private residences and the Lakeside Golf Club that is inaccessible to the public.
Toluca Lake real estate is in close proximity to three major Hollywood studios and therefore draws residents from the film, television, music and entertainment industries that all invest in Toluca Lake homes for sale.
