The Spanish word “Alta” means upper, and “Dena” is the abbreviation for Pasadena, so Altadena was appropriately named as the city directly north of Pasadena, California. Altadena is home to approximately forty-two thousand citizens and is only fourteen miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown Los Angeles. The area’s history is long and rich, having first been settled in 1880 by the Woodbury brothers. The brothers purchased nine hundred and thirty-seven acres of land in this stretch of sunny, Southern California, and that land became the city of Altadena.
Today, among the many advantageous features of Altadena is its diverse dining options. A few of the locals’ favorite restaurants include ALTAeats on North Allen Avenue, Bulgarini Gelato on Altadena Drive, and The Coffee Gallery on Lake Avenue. There are also excellent recreation opportunities in the area, at destinations like Echo Mountain, the five-plus-mile Sam Merrill Trail, multiple golf courses, Loma Alta Park, and Angeles National Forest. Additional points of interest in proximity include the Jet Propulsion Lab of NASA, the Altadena Farmers’ Market, and a Super King Market.
