Luxury homes with mountain views in South Hills

About 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the West Covina suburb of South Hills sits in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, rolling across the San Jose Hills of the Sierra Mountains and bordered north by the 10 freeway. “Here you'll find West Covina’s most expensive, exclusive homes, with fantastic mountain views,” says San Gabriel Valley Realtor and West Covina resident Mary Anglin of Fathom Realty, “and prices that make them especially attractive. They'd be at least tripled or quadrupled closer to Pasadena and LA.”

Spanish-inspired mansions and midcentury single-family homes

These exclusive South Hills homes are four- to six-bedroom Spanish-style estates built between the 1990s and mid-2000s on half-acre lots, ranging from $1.9 million to $3.5 million. With tall windows, soaring ceilings and clay-tiled roofs, these mansions line sidewalk-free streets that climb high in the hills, with fluffy palm trees in immaculate front yards and garage space for at least three cars.

Closer to sea level, a midcentury ranch-style home with up to four bedrooms and three baths on a grassy quarter-acre lot averages $790,000; you'll likely have a mature tree in your front yard and a mailbox at the curb. Town house condos with two to four bedrooms range from $480,000 to $900,000 (plus monthly HOA fees of $260 to $500).

Golf, explore and practice Tai Chi

For golf and local society, you could join the private South Hills Country Club, with an 18-hole course that hosts PGA and USGA events, an elegant Santa Barbara Mission-style clubhouse and a 3,500-bottle wine cellar. Or free of charge, you could enjoy the 42-acre Galster Wilderness Park, where paved hiking trails trace hillsides of coastal scrub, shaded by native black walnut trees. At Cortez Park, you can take your favorite kids to the modern playground or join your neighbors to cheer on a Little League game; at the park’s community center, seniors can watch a free movie, join a monthly excursion or take classes like Tai Chi.
