Hidden Village is a charming and historically rich neighborhood nestled in Toluca Lake. Bordered by Riverside Drive, Cahuenga Boulevard, Camarillo Street, and Forman Avenue, this unique enclave was designed to embody a "country estate" atmosphere, setting it apart from more traditional suburban developments. True to its original vision, Hidden Village was developed with thoughtful features such as wide streets without sidewalks or curbs, a lack of streetlights, and expansive lot sizes, fostering a serene and rustic charm that remains a hallmark of the neighborhood today.

Most residential lots in Hidden Village average an impressive 11,000 square feet, with even larger parcels averaging one acre located between Ledge Avenue and Cahuenga Boulevard. The neighborhood's design preserves a sense of spaciousness and privacy, appealing to those seeking a tranquil retreat in the city.

The area was originally a walnut grove, and great care was taken during development to preserve many of the original walnut trees. While only a few remain today, their presence enhances the "country feel" of the neighborhood, connecting residents to its agricultural roots.

In the mid-20th century, the construction of the 134 Freeway altered the neighborhood's layout, effectively dividing Hidden Village. The southern portion of Riverside Drive now stands somewhat separate from the rest of the community. Despite this, the neighborhood has maintained its charm and appeal, offering a peaceful oasis within close proximity to Toluca Lake’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

Hidden Village’s blend of history, natural beauty, and spacious living makes it one of the most distinctive and sought-after neighborhoods in Toluca Lake. Its timeless character and serene ambiance continue to attract residents who value privacy, charm, and a connection to the past.
