Altadena is a thriving suburban community sandwiched between Pasadena to the south and the Angeles National Forest to the north. Almost entirely a residential community, Altadena’s rental market is mostly composed of unpretentious single-family homes with a handful of apartments and condos in the mix as well.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab oratory sits just to the west of town, making Altadena a popular home base for many of the facility’s staff. The Rubio Canyon and Sam Merrill Trailheads provide direct links from the northern part of Altadena into the nearby hills, making it a great spot for folks who enjoy hiking and exploring the rugged landscape of Southern California.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
