I love living in Altadena, California. It is located near the mountains and has so much beautiful wildlife surrounding the area. The atmosphere is quiet and serene. Our neighbors are all very friendly and community oriented. It feels safe to walk my dog in our neighborhood. All the homes are historic and charming, adding to the beautiful backdrop of the mountains. There are so many lush plants and trees, thriving with birds and sweet smells. I feel at home in Altadena and thankful for the serenity it provides. There are several independent retail shops and restaurants that are great if you enjoy supporting small businesses. I like that Altadena feels far away from the hustle and bustle of the "big city", but is really only 20 minutes away from Downtown Los Angeles. Altadena has a wonderful public library, several public parks, and is a great entrance for hikers. I truly love Altadena and am happy to call it home!
Altadena is a nice town situated near the mountains. The neighborhood is pretty peaceful, and is home to Eaton Canyon!
Altadena has been my home since the day I was born. I've lived in the same house on Veranada Ave. surrounded by an incredible community of friendly, caring neighbors. Altadena is a quiet neighborhood adjacent to Pasadena. You're never too far from a movie theater, restaurant, park, or local mountains. Altadena is also near many other large cities such as downtown LA, La Canada, Arcadia, and Monrovia.
