Altadena is a city in California located directly North of Pasadena. The name Altadena is derived from the Spanish word alta meaning “upper” and dena which is short for the word Pasadena. Altadena is approximately 14 miles from the Downtown Los Angeles Civic Center. About 42,000 inhabitants live in this community.
History
In 1880, Frederick Woodbury and his brother John of Iowa, purchased 937 acres of land in California that later developed into the city of Altadena. They contacted a man named Byron O. Clark and asked if they could use the name Altadena for their plot of land known as the Woodbury Subdivision. Byron agreed, and the new Altadena community immediately started to boom! Wealthy millionaires from the East like Andrew McNally and G. G. Green built mansions along a street known as Mariposa near Santa Rosa. The Millionaire’s Row, another name for the wealthy street of mansions, got Altadena underway to its success. Over many years Pasadena wanted to annex Altadena, but by 1956 community campaigns stopped all of Pasadena’s attempts. If the annexation had succeeded, Pasadena would be the 108th largest city in the United States.

Activities & Attractions
Echo Mountain via the Sam Merrill Trail – See Reviews! – A beautiful hike for the outdoor types! It is a tiring hike, but it seems to be all worth it when you get to the top, and see a breathtaking panoramic view of L.A. The hike is an approximate 5.8 mile hike of winding switchbacks. You are bound to see dogs, horses, bikers, and of course other hikers along the trail. Some tips: hike in the morning before the heat caves in and to avoid crowds, sunblock, lots of water, food for a picnic, comfortable shoes, and a camera for the the amazing views! Super King Market – See Reviews! – “Clean, fresh, super good prices” What more can you ask for? From what I hear this supermarket is a favorable place with extremely affordable prices and daily fresh produce.Golf anyone? Here’s some information on Altadena & Eaton Canyon Golf Courses

Concrete slabs lead you away from a deceptively simple facade towards a modern portico that invites you into this Mid-Century Modern home. Just inside the wood framed glass door a wall encased in Teak creates a formal entry and then the home opens up into the Great Room with vaulted ceilings and near walls of glass allowing much light and the spacious grounds in! The dining area flows into a Butler's Pantry with what is called ''Water Stone'' counters and Teak cabinets, a bar sink and wine fridge. It is the kind of complement that encourages and simplifies entertaining. The kitchen features granite counters, charcoal Porcelanosa tile flooring, glass tile backsplash, custom white cabinets and stainless steel Kitchen Aid appliances. Down the hallway you'll notice an understated reverse-reveal detail of the wood trimmed doorways throughout the home. Here you'll find a laundry room, two spacious bedrooms and two impressive bathrooms remodeled with limestone counters, Teak cabinets, designer tile and chrome fixtures. And finally we look to the master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, sliding doors, walk-in closet and corner windows still affording a mountain view. The master bathroom offers a luxurious soaking tub with large window, glass shelves, and glass tile vertical trim as well as a dual vanity with Caesarstone counters and Teak cabinets and a huge walk-in shower with multiple heads. All in a real nice home!

Come be romanced by this 1928 authentic Spanish Revival 3-story home. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac, down the flowered drive past the bubbling fountain, you are drawn into the 2-story entry way, with its old-world charm of a coffered ceiling, crystal chandelier and hand wrought iron railings. Captivating details continue in the step-down formal living room with grand arched windows, plastered crown molding and original fireplace. Be delighted by the adjoining balcony as the perfect place for outdoor dining while hearing the soothing sounds of cascading water from the nearby koi pond. Enjoy mountain views from the formal dining room. You'll be tempted to cook in the large eat-in kitchen designed for entertaining. Venture upstairs to find 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, balcony off the master. Downstairs: a family room, bath, large laundry room, library and spacious game room, (or home offices). Beautiful tile throughout. A long back driveway parks many cars below a canopy of oak trees. Take pleasure in the serene courtyard-like setting that surrounds the pool, with tile mural. Cross the generous bridge that spans a river rock drainage channel, no longer in use, to the lush resort-like yard, that feels like an acre, with outdoor kitchen. Thoughtfully updated.
