Mountain Cove is a secluded community in the San Gabriel mountains
When you come across Mountain Cove, a small community notched into the northeast corner of Azusa in rural Los Angeles County, you will come away impressed. “I call it an unknown gem in the San Gabriel Valley,” says Baldwin Lopez, a Realtor with Keller Williams Movement Real Estate and former resident. “When you drive into the canyon, you cross a bridge and you are just surrounded by mountains. It’s very secluded and it’s spectacular. The feeling you get right when you make the turn and see the mountains around you, it’s just such a sense of ease and peacefulness.”
Right under the mountains you can find the nice gated community Mountain Cove.
Mountain Cove sits right under the San Gabriel Mountains in Azusa, California.

Spanish and Craftsman styles define the community's architecture
Mountain Cove is a 21st-century community that recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. It comprises a little more than 300 homes and is divided into three distinct neighborhoods. Wildwoods offers homes between 2,160 and 2,580 square feet. In Sagewoods, the homes are between 2,650 and 3,175 square feet. The largest homes, between 3,230 and 3,690 square feet, can be found in Copperwoods. “They are all two-story homes – fairly large modern homes,” says Lopez, who adds that they are fortified to protect against the elements. “You’re in a fire area, so all the homes come with sprinkler systems. There are strict codes out here, so the homes are well-designed.” The typical home features a private driveway, ample garage space and a large, well-manicured yard on quiet, picturesque streets ringed by mountains rising up around them. Spanish-style architecture is prominent, with decorative facades and terra cotta roofs common sights throughout the community. The Craftsman influence also is noticeable, as many homes incorporate natural materials into their designs. “Prices run anywhere from $850,000 to $1.2 million,” says Lopez.
Mountain Cove offers many luxurious two story homes.
Homes in this neighborhood price from approximately $485,000 to $1,260,000.

An active calendar of year-round events
The Mountain Cove Community Association’s social committee works hard to keep its residents active and engaged. “The social committee is separate from the HOA and creates events that help the entire community,” says Lopez. “They are very active, very social. Just great people.” Seasonal and holiday events take place year-round. Highlights include the annual Easter Egg hunt and a Christmas celebration complete with artificial snow for the kids. The summer luau even features traditional hula dancers. Regular events include movie nights at the community center.
A gateway to trails in the San Gabriel Mountains
Just outside the community is the San Gabriel Canyon Gateway Center, a pocket park and interpretive facility serves as the entrance to the San Gabriel Mountains. The San Gabriel River Trial, a popular paved bike path that runs through much of North Azusa, runs past the center into Mountain Cove and forms its southern border. Nearby Azusa Wilderness Park is a hilly canyon preserve with trails. “Without a doubt, my favorite part of the city is the mountains,” says Andrew Mendez, a Realtor with Century 21 Citrus Realty. “The community loves them. More people go into our Azusa canyons than go into Yosemite – over 4 million a year.”
San Gabriel Canyon Road offers a scenic bike ride that passes right by Mountain Cove.
