Lake Balboa is a central-Valley neighborhood built around the man-made lake of the same name in the Sepulveda Basin, and it was only carved out as its own district in the early 2000s. It is mostly quiet residential streets wrapped around the park and the recreation area, with apartment blocks along the busier avenues. The open parkland at its center gives it a calmer feel than the denser neighborhoods around it, and most of our calls here are straightforward home service.
Reaching you in Lake Balboa
The neighborhood sits between Balboa Boulevard and the Sepulveda Basin, with Victory Boulevard and Sherman Way crossing it and the I-405 close to the east. From West Hills it is a moderate drive east along Victory Boulevard or Sherman Way.
