With the San Gabriel Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop, La
Caņada Flintridge represents the very best of California living. Although
La Caņada Flintridge
is only twenty minutes from downtown Los Angeles, LCF
maintains a small-town atmosphere with a sense of shared family values that
touches every resident. Tree-lined streets and the rolling lawns of spacious
estates and colorful flowers surrounding beautiful homes set a standard
of gracious living in this "glen between the hills".

The climate is perfect for the variety of beautiful camellias and the
live-oak forest at Descanso Gardens, a 165-acre botanical garden known
throughout the nation. La Caņada Flintridge'scity has about 300 sunny
days per year and a mean, year-round temperature of 64 degrees, with an
average rainfall of about 20 inches.
Bordered by Angeles National Forest on the north, and the cities of
Pasadena and Glendale
on the east and south, the 8.5 square-mile city is 13 miles northeast
of the Los Angeles Civic Center, with easy access to Burbank
Airport.
At the forefront of the nation's space program, NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory maintains it's headquarters here. A more light-hearted
community source of pride is the Tournament
of Roses Association's annual float entry in Pasadena's
New Year's Day Parade. It is designed, constructed and paid for by community
volunteers.
Census
statistics show that executives and professionals comprise 54 percent
of area employees, with other white-collar occupations adding another
32 percent. Approximately 80 percent of adult residents have attended
college, with more than 50 percent being college graduates.
