The community of Montecito Heights, located between Los Angeles and Pasadena, has attracted artists, visionaries and intelligentsia for nearly a century. This picturesque district possesses a rich history as one of the oldest and most fascinating sections of Los Angeles. To read the fascinating life story of the elusive region of Los Angeles which enchanted Aimee Semple McPherson and cured Charles Lummis’ wanderlust, click here or on "History" anywhere in these pages .

Montecito Heights area attractions include Heritage Square’s collection of meticulously restored Victorian houses, the notable Lummis Home, the famed Southwest Museum (Los Angeles’ first museum), and the astonishingly vast Ernest E. Debs Regional Park. The Audubon Center on Griffin Avenue opened in 2003 to partner with the community to preserve Debs as an authentic native wilderness area. It has developed into an exceptional educational resource as a nature center at the edge of a dense urban environment.

Montecito Heights’ prime location, a pleasant ten minute drive from downtown Los Angeles, not only adds hours of free time to the waking life of any former commuter, it also makes for fabulous and convenient sightseeing, whether entertaining one’s guests or oneself. The treasures enfolded in the boundaries of downtown Los Angeles are too numerous to list, but here are a few: MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), Olvera Street, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, the L.A. Children’s Museum, the historic Angel’s Flight trolley that links the Grand Central Market to California Plaza's astonishing water sculptures, Dodger Stadium, the palatial Los Angeles Central Library, and the newly renovated Union Station.

Of course, the throb of a close and vigorous colossal urban center makes the exquisite natural haven of Montecito Heights seem like paradise to hard-working residents. And to native wild creatures, it truly is a paradise. Songbirds abound, and many migratory birds have selected lovely Montecito Heights as an interim destination in their long journeys. The skies above Montecito Heights would look bare to her residents without containing at least one soaring red-tailed hawk. Coyotes occasionally sing their eerie midnight hunt songs, though they rarely show themselves. Great white owls occasionally make spectacular appearances, swooping past on their enormous wings; and many endangered trap-door spiders make their homes in the Montecito Heights brush lands.
