About Altadena
Altadena is an unincorporated foothill community directly above Pasadena, with large older lots, mature oaks and a mix of Craftsman, Spanish and mid-century housing running right up to the national forest boundary.
Altadena weather and what it does to your property
Among the wettest parts of Los Angeles County at roughly 23 inches a year, with cool nights, hot summer afternoons and significant Santa Ana wind and fire-season exposure.
Fire-season ash
Altadena's position against the forest means ash exposure most years. Ash is alkaline and etches concrete and painted surfaces if it sits through a rain, so cleaning after an event is time-sensitive rather than cosmetic.
Oak litter and tannin
Heritage oaks drop tannin-rich litter that stains concrete a red-brown commonly mistaken for rust. Treating it as rust does not work and can set it.
Long unpaved-edge driveways
A lot of Altadena driveways meet unpaved margins, which means silt washes across them with every storm.
