Review of Glendale, California


La Crescenta-Montrose is perfect
Star Rating - 4/4/2020
This place is AMAZING. If you cherish nice, down-to-earth people, great neighbors, beautiful starry skies at night, not much traffic, views of the untouched hills on either side, easy commute into Burbank/Pasadena/Downtown, small character homes, families with young kids, numerous parks within walking distance, great local shops & businesses and people with integrity, and—best of all—blue ribbon award-winning k-12 public schools, then La Crescenta-Montrose is the place for you :-) We love raising our kids here!

Good people and good neighbors, yes. Starry skies - not so much. Traffic - been covid traffic for the last year so not bad. However, when reality returns, traffic is horrible and going to get worse with all the new apartments that will be going up in the next couple of years. The main high school doesn't provide any student parking so they are forced on to the streets to park making that neighborhood crowded and unsafe for pedestrians and drivers. The traffic leading to and from all other schools is outrageous with streets that are too narrow and no sidewalks. Schools - OK. Not what they once were. Cater to over-achieving, self-motivated kids (who don't need attention) or to those they are forced to pay attention to (kids with learning disabilities and/or those in the bottom quartile). Kids in the middle really get the short end of the stick.
