Pasadena and the foothills
Greene and Greene Craftsman houses and foothill towns under the San Gabriels.
Pasadena and its neighbors sit at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, east of Downtown and the Eastside: Pasadena itself, San Marino, South Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, Sierra Madre, Arcadia and the foothill communities above Glendale. Most are their own cities, each with its own rules.
It's one of LA's great architecture regions, with Greene and Greene Craftsman landmarks, 1920s Spanish and Tudor estates and mid-century homes, plus the Rose Bowl, The Huntington, Caltech and Old Pasadena. The A Line runs from Downtown through Pasadena toward the foothills.
Big lots, newer custom homes and a 1930s Art Deco racetrack, at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains.
A foothill city of big lots, oak-shaded streets and mountain views, between the San Rafael Hills and the San Gabriels.
Foothill streets of bungalows, ranch homes and mountain views in the Crescenta Valley, with a tree-lined 1913 main street in Montrose.
Craftsman bungalows, Arroyo estates and a real downtown at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains.
A small city of 1920s estates and wide lawns, built around Henry Huntington's ranch and gardens.
A small foothill village of bungalows and canyon cottages, right where the San Gabriel Mountains begin.
A small city of Craftsman and Victorian homes, shady streets and a Route 66 main street, tucked between Pasadena and the Arroyo Seco.
