Neighbourhoods
Christmas Tree LaneA 0.7-mile stretch of Santa Rosa Avenue lined with towering deodar cedars planted in 1885; the trees have been strung with lights as a public holiday display every year since 1920, making it one of the longest-running Christmas light displays in the country.Millionaire's Row (Mariposa Street)In 1887 printing magnate Andrew McNally and businessman George Gill Green built mansions on Mariposa Street near Santa Rosa Avenue, kicking off a run of Eastern-money estates; novelist Zane Grey bought a home nearby in the same district in the early 1900s.Altadena Meadows (The Meadows)Occupying Altadena's central flatlands, this tract of wide streets and ranch-style homes built mostly in the 1940s-1960s was exempt from the redlining that barred Black homebuyers elsewhere in the region, making it one of the first middle-class African American neighborhoods in the San Gabriel Valley.Janes VillageRoughly 160 homes built between 1924 and 1926 by developer Elisha Paul Janes, known for steep roofs and multiple gables despite Janes's own lack of building credentials; the tract's distinctive character earned it designation as a Los Angeles County heritage area in 2002.La VinaOriginally an 1878 hillside ranch and vineyard above Millard Canyon, the site became La Vina Sanatorium in 1911, a nonprofit tuberculosis hospital that burned in a 1935 wildfire before being rebuilt; the land was redeveloped starting in 1993 into today's gated community of roughly 272 homes.Farnsworth ParkCompleted in 1934, this hillside park anchors the surrounding residential pocket, where homes were built across nearly every decade of the early 20th century in styles ranging from Craftsman to Spanish Revival to Mid-Century Modern.
