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

It is a rare occurrence when a two-story home goes on the market at the Presidents' Streets neighborhood on Pepper Drive! This is your chance to own a white picket fenced, traditional brick facade house with modern amenities and an expansive backyard which offers a brick patio, a thousand feet of luscious lawn and a badminton court which could easily be transformed into a pickle ball court or swimming pool. The possibilities are endless! The residence offers a flexible floor plan which in time, could be transformed to serve the changing needs of a growing or multi-generational family. The large living room offers enough space to congregate as well as entertain and the adjacent bedroom could be also used as a family room. Both rooms have working fireplaces with gas starters to ensure instant gratification. Off the main entrance, a pair of louvered doors lead to a formal dining room with reworked wainscoting to reflect modern preferences, linen drapery and a chandelier with swooping sculptural lines in matte bronze that complements the oil rubbed bronze hardware used throughout the house. In the kitchen, the knurled chrome handles accent a simple and understated elegant cabinet design in white with granite countertops and travertine backsplash. Add the newer stainless-steel appliances with wi-fi connectivity and multitude of features like a fridge that makes ice balls and a range with air-fryer. The practical laundry room is already outfitted with newer, connected appliances that can process family-sized laundry loads with ease. The dryer is electric and ready to mitigate the rising cost of natural gas. Last, but certainly not least is the Carrara tile clad bathroom with a rejuvenating shower and bench that makes jumping in the shower a highlight in one's day. The floating vanity with smooth gliding drawers and lighted sliding mirror ensure that you look your best every day. The upper level starts at an ample landing, with access to a large linen closet and drawers, as well as extensive storage. The two well-sized bedrooms with dual closets have excellent views of either the mountains or the city. The upper bathroom has been modernized but still keeps the character, while offering the potential to reflect the new owners' preferences. There's a recently retrofitted garage with modern amenities like a wi-fi connected garage door opener and two electric charging options. Additional amenities include a newer Premier Tuff Shed, Malibu lighting and solar system.
