4A: Balboa Terrace

Since its construction in the 1920’s, Balboa Terrace has been a neighborhood noted for elegance and luxury. Ornate Italian Renaissance Revival, grand Spanish Colonial and even smaller British cottages line the manicured lawns and streets, all of them reflecting the unique and charming Storybook style of the neighborhood’s architect, Harold Stoner. Convenient access to freeways, public transit, and shopping at West Portal help to make this fairytale neighborhood a well-heeled haven.
