The weather is usually hot in the summers averaging up to 91 degrees and in the winter it can be quite cold averaging around 47 degrees with some heavy rain and winds. There are no snow, hurricanes or tornado's in the city. | | This city is generally one of the safest cities to live in. The only crime I've heard of happening in this city are property crimes. I knew of somebody whose home had been broken into a few years ago and a few incidences with theft have also occurred. | | The best parts of this town are up by La Canada Flintridge, Honolulu Ave, Rosemont Ave, and Briggs Terrace. Some of the lower quality parts of town would be the homes near Foothill blvd leading to Tujunga.
The homes in the nicer parts of town are all of upper class and many White or Asians reside here. The homes are older and well established and were built between 1940-1970. There are some homes that are newly built. The median prices are $790,000. | | Majority of the people in this town are White with families. The city is quite family oriented and those who are well accomplished would best fit in a town like this. Singles would also fit in as well. The people are generally very friendly and warm. There aren't any gangs or drug dealers in the city, and you feel safe being around everyone in this town. I've always felt welcomed when being in Lacrescenta-Montrose. |

There are no airports nearby or unusual noise sources. However some of the homes are near the highway and may be bothered by the sound of the cars on the highway. | | The neighboring town would be Glendale,CA. Both cities are safe and a joy to live in.

General comments | | | | | | |
This town makes me feel as though I'm at home. It has a warm and inviting feel to it and makes you want to work hard in order to buy a home in this town to live in. I love how it's not overly crowded and the main street has many shops and restaurants you can go to. There are many trees and beautiful homes to view when driving down here. You don't find any graffiti or trash laying around on the streets, the city is very clean. | | | | | | |
