Alhambra, spread across the western edge of the San Gabriel Valley
Homes in Alhambra go back as far as the 1920s and keep going right up to newer construction, so you'll find original brick chimneys next door to houses built last decade. The older stacks have been through a lot of shaking over the years, which means the mortar and the structure underneath both deserve a proper look, not just a glance from the ground.
View nearby cityAltadena, tucked against the San Gabriel Mountains just north of Pasadena
Altadena's an unincorporated community, so a lot of what you see driving through dates back to the early 1900s, Craftsman cottages with their original brick stacks mixed in with newer builds going up after the Eaton Fire tore through in January 2025. For a lot of families here, getting a chimney checked out or rebuilt the right way is part of coming back from that.
View nearby cityLa Canada Flintridge, up in the Crescenta Valley foothills

Montrose grew up mostly between the 1920s and the 1960s around its shopping district, so you get a real mix out here, original masonry fireplaces in the older homes and prefab units in the ones built later, and each needs its own kind of upkeep.
View nearby citySan Marino, right in the middle of the San Gabriel Valley
