Every Tuesday we Realtors hold houses open for each other in La Crescenta CA, Montrose CA, Glendale CA, and La Canada CA.  These wonderful communities are nestled into the Verdugo Hills and San Gabriel Mountains just east of Pasadena CA.  Here are two of the better values I saw on the La Crescenta Caravan this week:

3571 Emanuel Dr is located in the Oakmont Woods neighborhood of Glendale.  A three bedroom, three bathroom home for only $847,000!  Oakmont Woods is a great little area of cul de sacs nestled into the Verdugo Hills.  Emanuel Drive is located at the top of the neighborhood and many of the homes on Emanuel have wonderful views of the Crescenta Valley.  One of La Crescenta’s big attractions is the natural beauty of the area.  Another is the award winning La Crescenta schools.

3702 Los Olivos Ln in La Crescenta, located above Foothill Blvd next to Dunsmore Park.  The two bedroom house is located close to public and private schools and features lovely mountain views for $495,500. This cutie is already sold!

2306 Blanchard Dr in Glendale, minutes from Verdugo Park is surrounded by great hiking on the nearby mountain trails.  Blanchard Drive is a pleasant tree-lined road and 2306 Blanchard Drive, with amazing curb appeal is listed for $1,295,000.

3465 Downing Ave is a two bedroom home in the Sparr Heights neighborhood of Glendale.  Sparr Heights is adjacent to the Montrose shopping area, with it’s charming shops and restaurants.  A real pleasure to stroll through this neighborhood – it gets top ratings from everyone in the area.  This Spanish-style, handyman’s delight is listed at $609,000.

3653 Fifth Ave in La Crescenta is located between Crescenta Valley park and Dunsmore park.  A three bedroom, two bathroom home for only $569,000.  This tree-shaded home is within the award winning La Crescenta school district and in a great neighborhood.
