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

Stunningly reimagined & remodeled single level mid-century modern perched high above Altadena on a quiet cul-de-sac street with gorgeous views of Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home spread over 2,241 sq. ft. of living space was extensively remodeled by the current owners and features a large living room with vaulted ceilings that share with an adjacent formal dining room. Both rooms are backed by a spectacular covered patio opening toward the view and the spacious, flat grassy lawn. The open floor plan flows into the gourmet kitchen, equipped with newer appliances including a 6-burner gas Thermador range with double ovens and a Viking Refrigerator. Other special touches include quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, farm sink, custom wood cabinets, center island and a comfy breakfast nook. The large master suite features a separate home office, large closet and an exquisite master bath. The two guest beds are both roomy and the two additional baths have also been remodeled continuing the design motifs accented in the kitchen. Easily accessible, but very private, the home offers the best of all worlds; easy access to Old Town Pasadena, but equally accessible to the quiet majesty of the San Gabriel Mountains soaring just to the north. Welcome home!
