Toluca Woods is a charming and historic neighborhood in Toluca Lake nestled between Camarillo Street to the south, N Clybourn and Clark Streets at the Burbank boundary, Cahuenga Boulevard to the west, and Magnolia Boulevard to the north. This desirable area in the San Fernando Valley combines a tranquil, residential atmosphere with close proximity to urban conveniences, making it a highly sought-after location.
Originally envisioned to have a similar rustic, country-like feel as the nearby Hidden Village, Toluca Woods was designed with smaller lots and more "affordable" homes, making it accessible to a broader range of residents. The neighborhood’s development, however, remained limited until the post-World War II era. It was during this time that renowned developer Fritz Burns, with the financial backing of industrialist Henry Kaiser, began building homes to accommodate returning veterans. This boom in construction brought an influx of charming single-family homes, many of which still showcase mid-century architectural details and post-war craftsmanship.
Today, Toluca Woods is known for its quiet, tree-lined streets, diverse mix of architectural styles, and welcoming community. While many of the original homes from the mid-20th century remain, several have been updated or expanded to meet modern needs, contributing to the area’s unique blend of historic charm and contemporary living.
Its prime location places residents just minutes from major studios in Burbank and Hollywood, as well as the dining, shopping, and entertainment options in Toluca Lake and North Hollywood. The neighborhood’s proximity to major thoroughfares, combined with its peaceful and inviting ambiance, makes Toluca Woods a standout community in the greater Los Angeles area.
