The Spanish word "alta" translates as upper and "dena" is the abbreviation for Pasadena, hence the name Altadena. Home to roughly forty-two thousand residents, this remarkable city is only fourteen miles from the excitement of Downtown Los Angeles.

Today Altadena has much to offer prospective homebuyers, including a wide variety of fabulous dining opportunities. Area restaurants include The Coffee Gallery on Lake Avenue, Bulgarini Gelato on Altadena Drive, and ALTAeats on North Allen Avenue.
