"Beautiful Community...a bit off the beaten path"

La Canada Flintridge is a beautiful community North East of the City Center of Glendale and situated at the foothills of the Angeles National Forest. The easiest access to the community is from the Foothills Freeway or the Glendale Freeway. This community is not for the resident who does not want to travel on highways. Although...the above highways feel open and light traveled compared to those found further West.

The community is meticulously maintained and has a upscale suburban feel. The homes are large, renovated and added onto and offer spacious lots. The part of the area East of Foothill Blvd. is heavily wooded with pines and other deciduous trees. Foothills Blvd. offers the typical community business and restaurant offerings, however, they feel a bit more upscale due to the architecture and landscaping which surrounds them.

The community is extremely expensive...not many properties listed under the $700,000 price range. The square footage does tend to be higher than neighborhoods West of La Canada Flintridge. It is one the prettiest Valley Communities.
Pros
  • Georgous Architecture
  • Large Lots
Cons
  • Expensive

"Very Upscale...Great Option for Buyers Looking for an Upscale Suburban Feel"

La Canada Flintridge is a beautiful area that feels like a neighborhood sitting within a country club...but it's not. The homes are maintained perfectly with yards larger than neighborhoods located further West. The area has many mature trees which adds to the charm. The various stores along Foothills Blvd. are set back and landscaped...not like your typical LA strip mall roads. There are several excellent private school options in addition to the highly ranked public schools (according to U.S. News 2013 Academic Readiness Indicators). If you have a good chunk of change to spend, and want to be in an upscale suburban community within a commute to LA...La Canada Flintridge is an excellent choice.
Pros
  • Upscale Suburban
  • Charming
  • Large Manicured lawns
