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

This spacious mid-century modern home designed by Gisela Meier in 1958 is located in the Altadena foothills surrounded by other prestigious homes. It sits on an over 30,000 square foot fenced lot (almost ¾ of an acre) shaded by mature trees including large oaks, fruit trees and established landscaping. Set far back from the street, this secluded property has multiple units on site and has not been on the market for almost 50 years. The main home boasts mid-century modern flair with an open floorplan, original exposed beam ceilings, vintage-brick fireplace, indoor BBQ, numerous skylights, wood floors and a massive open main room with high ceilings and a glass wall looking out onto the mature garden and brick patio. The main home has two bedrooms, a den that could be used as a third bedroom, two full bathrooms, a dining room, an expansive sunroom, updated central air and heat and a large, attached garage. There is plenty of storage space throughout the home. In addition to the main house, the property has a one bedroom, 3/4 bath guest house with kitchen, an additional separate office/workshop that has its own 3/4 bath and a separate tool shed/workshop on what was formerly “horse” property. This one of a kind property feels like being in a private forest but is minutes from the city and close to Eaton Canyon.
