Movers in Toluca Lake
Toluca Lake is a small southeast Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles that spills over into Burbank. Here is what to plan for when you move there, from Kobe Moving in Van Nuys.
About Toluca Lake
Toluca Lake covers a little over one square mile of the southeast Valley, bounded by Universal City, Studio City, North Hollywood and the city of Burbank. Its name comes from a private lake fed by wells and maintained by the property owners around it. The neighborhood was developed from 1923 as a bedroom community, with the Lakeside golf course at its center.
Much of the housing dates back decades. The local chamber notes that Toluca Lake spills over into Burbank, so the same name can mean two different cities.
