Alta Loma is a suburban area with great school districts

Alta Loma is a sweeping suburban community that gently rises toward the mountains. "It's a nice friendly area situated at the foothills with some of the best school districts," Cheryleigh Aday, broker with Heritage Realty, says. The area's name is derived from the Spanish words for "tall hill," as the elevation changes from 1,400 feet to 3,000 feet above sea level.

Alta Loma sits along the foothills and is known for its friendly feel and strong schools.

Home styles and prices in different parts of the neighborhood

The northern section of the neighborhood is made up of deep home lots with more suburban tracts sloping south toward the downtown area. You'll find a community of large estates in the deeper, more rural northern section, peppered with orange, lemon and eucalyptus trees harkening back to the area's agricultural past. Large, ornate Spanish-style villas and contemporary estates have home lots that span nearly half an acre, often featuring expansive back patios where you can get breathtaking views of the hillsides and snowcapped mountains. Compared to the southern section, prices tend to be a little more expensive, with some homes costing as much as $1.1 million.
The neighborhood's southern section features more traditional suburban tracts lined with leafy oaks and towering palms. It's populated by expansive ranch-style homes, giving residents abundant living space with open floor plans. Homes also feature a mixture of design touchstones from the Spanish style and more contemporary features, like large windows and multicar garages. Prices for single-family homes trend lower as you get closer to the Foothill Freeway; they hover around $680,000.
Though single-family homes are most prevalent, there are some condominiums in the southern section. They tend to feature community amenities such as pools and fitness centers. Alta Loma's condo prices range from about $250,000 for a 700-square-foot unit to as much as $525,000 for one with 1,400 square feet.
