Montrose

You can’t get much closer to the Angeles National Forest than the community of Montrose, which nestles just to the south of this enormous wooded area of more than 650,000 acres.

Founded in 1913, modern-day Montrose is the kind of place where you can still find a “small-town U.S.A.” atmosphere even though the town has thriving business and commercial interests and caters to  the many residents  living in this part of the Crescenta Valley.

Montrose is wedged between the Crescenta Highlands to the west and La Canana Flintridge to the east, but it’s hardly a remote location from the rest of the metropolitan Los Angeles area. The town is connected to L.A. and other neighboring communities by plenty of major roads and freeways, including Foothill Boulevard and the 210 Freeway.

The 19,000 or so residents who call this community (and nearby La Crescenta) their home, according to 2009 census figures,  have a median household income of about $79,000 and professional backgrounds; the community’s average home value, based on that same cenus, is about $477,000. Though private schools are a preference for many Montrose families, children also attend schools in the Glendale Unified School District.

The Montrose Shopping Park,which first opened in 1967, took the place of a small, budding business district along Honolulu Avenue. Today, along many of those same shady, tree-lined streets, more than 200 independently owned businesses provide a pleasant alternative to the online shopping experience. Visit there and you’ll find merchants providing for seemingly every need, whether you’re after a haircut, clothes, toys, antiques, medical supplies or fresh baked goods.

Along with this string of shops, Montrose’s small-town feel  is easy to identity in other ways. How? It’s simple: Go to the “old town” section  and look around. Several events regularly encourage neighbors to come out and meet each other in a social, informal setting—the the Harvest Market, which features locally grown foods and is held every Sunday; the annual Arts & Crafts Festival that comes to town in June; and the Montrose Christmas Parade, a favorite of the kids.  Montrose Ca 91020 homes for sale, Montrose Ca 91021 homes for sale.
