Altadena, a suburb just north of Pasadena at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, has seen its real estate values grow as young families leave pricier, hipper northeast L.A. neighborhoods like Highland Park and Eagle Rock in search of more space. "You are typically getting larger lot sizes and you’re just a little bit away from the urban environment," says real estate agent Tracy Do of Compass. "Yet the area still has diversity."

The house is situated on a quiet cul de sac, less than a mile from the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.
