About Montrose

Montrose is a lovely neighborhood in northern Los Angeles County bordered by the large Angeles National Forest. The community shares schools, parks, and festivals with their next door neighbor La Crescenta. While they are separate entities their proximity and sharing of services, etc. often result in the area being referred to as La Crescenta-Montrose.

This picturesque community has beautiful communities with houses of varying styles, sizes, and prices. There are lovely neighborhoods that offer welcoming homes, some with mountain views, on landscaped lawns with swimming pools and patios. Residents enjoy picnics in the backyard, pool parties, leisurely strolls or a running workout, and quiet relaxation in the shade. There are also well designed townhouses and condominium complexes with well designed units of varying sizes and owner amenities such as outdoor cookout areas, swimming pools, and spas.

The Glendale Unified School District oversees excellent public schools in the area. There are seven elementary public schools, three are California Distinguished Schools and three are Blue Ribbon Schools. The middle schools and two high schools are also California Distinguished Schools. Private elementary and middle schools are also available.

The area boasts a number of beautiful parks. Crescenta Valley Park is a large tree covered park that provides the feel of being in the forest. Visitors enjoy the shaded picnic areas, well equipped play areas, and athletic fields.. It is a dog friendly park that has separate areas the keep small and large dogs apart. Another family and pet friendly park is Two Strike Park. Children enjoy the well maintained play equipment, rock climbing area, basketball courts, and open green space for running and relaxing. Dunsmore Park is a smaller neighborhood park that has tennis courts, a baseball diamond, playground, and picnic areas.

The neighboring Angeles National Forest offers many hiking opportunities. A favorite is the Stone Canyon Trail that winds to the top of Mount Lukens. The climb is rewarded with a panoramic view from the highest peak in the city. Nearby Deukmejian Wilderness Park is a large 704 acre preserve with two steep canyons. Hikers enjoy the California vegetation and wildlife, and are surrounded by breath taking landscapes. Those that reach the higher elevations enjoy views of Crescenta Valley, San Gabriel Valley, San Fernando Valley, the Glendale Mountains, and downtown Los Angeles.
