Crescenta Highlands
Suburban Neighborhood in La Crescenta, California
Los Angeles County 91042, 91214
Crescenta Highlands, perched comfortably at the edge of the San Gabriel Mountains, is an embodiment of suburban allure and serene living. The neighborhood brims with a pleasant, unhurried rhythm of life, offering a pleasant reprieve from the hustle of urban locales.
Crescenta Highlands is a neighborhood where architecture and nature coexist beautifully. The homes range from mid-century charmers to contemporary models, all uniformly well-maintained, exhibiting an evident pride of ownership. Driveways, adorned with various hues of flowers and well-manicured lawns, imbue a warm, inviting feel to the neighborhood streets. Prices in the neighborhood range from $1.2 million for a cozy 1,100-square-foot mid-century ranch to $1.8 million for a 2,100-square-foot fully renovated bungalow, while modern 3,000-square-foot Spanish-style homes in the neighborhood typically sell for around $2.2 million. As if to affirm the area's commitment to tranquility, many homes offer stunning views of the verdant mountains that cradle the neighborhood, a daily visual treat for the residents.
The natural theme extends beyond the residential quarters. Dunsmore Park, a beloved community spot, provides a backdrop for many a neighborhood activity. It's an oasis of recreation, complete with walking trails, children's play areas, and picnic spots. The sight of families spending quality time and friends engaging in cheerful banter is a common scene, reinforcing the neighborhood's friendly, community-oriented spirit.
Proximity to Deukmejian Wilderness Park and the vast San Gabriel terrain adds a refreshing vibe, inviting locals to bike, hike and camp just up the road. Residents also have access to a covered playscape, a baseball field and shady picnic spots at Crescenta Valley Community Regional Park. Dog owners appreciate the separate small and large dog play areas at Crescenta Valley Dog Park.
You’ll find plenty of essentials close to home, mostly along Foothill Boulevard, including Vons, Dollar King and Starbucks. You won’t find super-trendy bars, boutiques and five-star restaurants, but neighbors still have their favorites. Reborn Coffee is known for its specially processed brews, and cuisine along Foothill includes familiar Jersey Mike’s and Subway, as well as authentic Mediterranean, Italian, Japanese and Korean.
Crescenta Highlands also enjoys a reputation for educational excellence. The neighborhood schools, part of the Glendale Unified School District, consistently receive high ratings for their focus on academic achievement and overall student development. Local students can expect to attend highly-rated institutions like Dunsmore Elementary and Rosemont Middle School, both of which are rated 8 out of 10 on GreatSchools. The neighborhood’s own Crescenta Valley High School, meanwhile, has a rare 10 out of 10 rating and is a National Blue Ribbon school.
One of Crescenta Highlands' most distinct features is its sense of self-contained serenity without sacrificing urban conveniences. It's just a short drive to the heart of Glendale, where a diverse array of restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues await. Yet, returning home to Crescenta Highlands always feels like a retreat - a withdrawal from the urban clamor to a sanctuary of calm.
Crescenta Highlands paints a picture of suburban contentment – a place where community, comfort, and natural beauty effortlessly come together. Its appeal is no grand secret; it's in its balanced lifestyle offering – one that embraces both community interaction and personal tranquility in equal, satisfying measures.
