Been meaning to ask this. I grew up here but left for a while. Crime rate is something to consider -Altadena sits at 280.7 per 100K. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
