Take a trip back in time and visit modern day Altadena, California! Altadena has a homey country feel. There are few paved sidewalks, hardly any condos, and few apartment buildings. Some areas are horse property. Altadena is the most racially and economically mixed area there is. You name it, we've got it. Truly, the patch work quilt of America's culture is well represented here.

Altadena is a part of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. Any manner of cultural or natural recreation is close at hand from here. It is minutes away from most Los Angeles area destinations. Though we enjoy a rural country character to our neighborhoods it only takes as much as an hour to get to get to literally hundreds of popular destinations.

The indigenous inhabitants of Altadena, and Pasadena, were the Hahamog-na, a Tongva Native American tribe who lived in the Arroyo Seco. Hahamogna, the Chief, was met by General Portola of the Mexican Army in 1770 as he was making an exploratory expedition of Alta California. With the establishment of the San Gabriel Mission (1773) and the City of Los Angeles (1781), the south lands of California were properties claimed in the name of the King of Spain.

Today, Altadena is a piece of history among the busy and hectic centres of California. With major cities close by, you can work, live and raise a family in a down-home town like Altadena and still make trips to the larger centers when you need or want to.
