Lake Balboa is an ethnically diverse, working- to middle-class neighborhood of Los Angeles located in the central San Fernando Valley. Most of the homes in the area were built post-World War II, though many residents have upgraded them substantially since them.
The neighborhood attracts growing families because of its reasonable housing prices and proximity to the huge Balboa Park. In the center of the park sits Lake Balboa itself, after which the neighborhood takes its name. Reaching northward from the park, the Lake Balboa neighborhood has a pleasantly recreational vibe, thanks to the park and the many bike trails in the area.

About the Listing Agent
Jen Day
Harcourts Westside
I truly love helping people through one of life’s biggest decisions—whether that’s selling their home or finding the right one to buy. I’ve lived on the Westside of Los Angeles for over 20 years, and I also invest in real estate myself, so I understand both the emotional side and the financial side of the process. Before real estate, I spent 15 years working as an actress and singer here in Los Angeles. That experience taught me so much about building relationships, staying resilient, and showing up with professionalism and a positive attitude—skills I now bring into every client experience. My journey into real estate started with purchasing my own multifamily property, and that hands-on experience gave me a real understanding of what my clients go through. Because I’ve been in those shoes, I’m able to guide you through each step with clarity, honesty, and a practical approach. My goal is always to make the process feel as smooth and stress-free as possible. I take the time to explain everything, keep communication simple and consistent, and help you navigate any challenges that come up so you feel confident from start to finish. I’m known for my strong work ethic, positive energy, and genuinely caring about my clients. I treat every transaction like it matters, because it does! Whether you’re selling, buying, or both, I’m here to look out for your best interests and help you achieve the best possible outcome. If you’re thinking about making a move, I’d love to connect and see how I can help.
