The Community

A close-knit community on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Altadena also has a rich agricultural past, since it was first developed in the early 20th century, when ranchers and business magnates from the Midwest came in search of warmer weather and favorable crop conditions, and it maintains much of its rustic character today.


After a prosperity boom in the 1950s, much of the land in Altadena was bought up and developed into grand estates and sprawling ranch-style homes, many of which have been modernized but still stand.

 

With large lots, a small-town feel despite easy access to the city, and an appealing lifestyle, Altadena has quickly become one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after suburbs.

Lifestyle

Altadena’s combination of suburban living and easy access to Los Angeles has made it an appealing neighborhood for young families looking for more space and livability, as well as retirees who want to take advantage of Southern California’s 284 days of sun per year. Surrounded by mountains and greenery, Altadena evokes serenity, so it’s no wonder its residents take advantage of the many hiking and biking trails nearby. 

 

Less busy than nearby Pasadena, Altadena has a more rustic feel. Instead of high-rises and modern condo buildings, you’ll find ranches among the foothills and wide residential streets dotted with parks and public green spaces.
