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

Introduced from the street by birdsong and a blooming palo verde tree, this move-in-ready home has it all: mountain views, heated pool and spa enhance this beautifully updated Mid-century traditional with peaceful modern vibes and upgraded systems. While the architecture here embodies simplicity of form with clean lines and right angles, the landscaping nods to the natural beauty and organic shapes found in neighboring Eaton Canyon: sculptural granite boulders, a drought tolerant garden in myriad shades of green and striking native trees. Inside, light wide-plank wood floors are bathed in natural light from oversized windows -- the garden view from the living room is truly pretty as a picture. A decorative painted brick fireplace with raised hearth and handsome wood beam mantle offers a welcoming space to gather and host, before revealing the custom kitchen and showstopping great room. Chefs and entertainers will celebrate the kitchen's oversize waterfall island with abundant seating and storage, suite of stainless steel appliances including full height built-in beverage refrigerator. Kitchen flows into the dining area with vaulted ceilings ascending to a lightwell that opens the space in the most unexpected way with twin skylights, and a large family room with a wall of sliding glass doors that open to the backyard. The primary suite, with custom walk-in closet, nicely proportioned bath with dual sink vanity and walk-in shower with built-in bench, also enjoys direct access and views of the backyard via sliding glass door. Three additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and two bathrooms are well placed -- the floorplan is excellent. No comfort is lacking here, from the well-appointed laundry room to the finished two-car garage, directly accessed from inside the home. Finally: the backyard is a revelation with a majestic oak tree casting dappled shade on the broad herringbone brick patio, gravel firepit area and stunning pool and spa. Close to hiking, trails, shopping (and Altadena's burgeoning food scene!) but still removed from the urban fray, this home offers real lifestyle in an incredible setting.
