Living near the San Gabriel Mountains
The enclave of Kinneloa Mesa is a secluded community hidden in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, overlooking Pasadena. Although the neighborhood is more remote, residents enjoy a balance of peaceful scenery and proximity to Pasadena’s amenities. “It feels very tucked away, very secluded, with the mountains there every time you turn around,” says local Realtor Jessica Romero, who has sold several homes in Southern California. “But it’s still just fifteen minutes from Old Town Pasadena and less than ten minutes from Hastings Ranch Shopping Center and the 210.”
Kinneloa Mesa residents can head down the hill for many department stores and restaurants.

Large homes with mountain views
“Homebuyers are looking for serene and quiet,” says Aida Dimejian, a Realtor who lives and works in the area. “The lots are larger, and there are beautifully styled homes. It’s a pretty diverse mix of different architectural styles.” Styles range widely, from French provincial-inspired houses to Mediterranean manors. The older homes of Kinneloa Mesa are well-maintained, sitting on manicured lots that provide space and views of the nearby mountains. The area’s houses are known for their stunning views and impressive amenities — large pools and professionally maintained gardens are a common sight, particularly in the gated upper half of the neighborhood. “The neighborhood is full of older, architecturally significant estates,” Romero agrees. “It’s not a cookie-cutter neighborhood. The homes are all unique, usually with larger lots. A lot of them just back out into the mountains.”
Homes sell for an average of $2.5 million, but that price can fluctuate. Ranch-style homes, updated with sleek picture windows and meticulous landscaping, range from $1.5 to $3 million. Modern Traditional homes, often featuring motifs of other architectural styles, start at $2.2 million and can exceed the $4 million mark. Spanish Revival homes, always popular in SoCal, range from $2.2 to $4 million depending on the size of the house and the lot it sits on.
Many homes in Kinneloa Mesa have a beautiful view of backdrop of the mountains.

San Gabriel trails, local canyons and private pools
The San Gabriel Mountains are a part of everyday life for Kinneloa Mesa residents. The neighborhood backs up to a sprawl of parks. Whenever they feel like it, locals can follow the Eaton Canyon trail to a stunning waterfall or turn onto Mount Wilson Toll Road trail, which will carry them through Henninger Flats — home to some of the best views in all of LA County — before connecting with hundreds of miles of mixed-use trails that crisscross Angeles National Forest. Locals primarily use the trail for daily walks, runs and rides. It's not uncommon to see people strapping on a backpack and spending a weekend hiking to the iconic Mount Wilson Observatory and back. Those who still enjoy the great outdoors but are interested in something less strenuous can visit the exhibits and short but well-maintained interpretive trails at the Eaton Canyon Nature Center.
