A chilling Altadena robbery caught on camera!

08/14/2026

Above the valley. Behind the gate. The view does the rest.

This one sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in La Crescenta — the foothill pocket between La Cañada and Montrose, about 20 minutes north of Pasadena. Two-story Craftsman, built for the way people actually live up here.

Warm wood, stone, and glass. Wide-plank floors and oversized windows framing the mountains from nearly every room. A chef's kitchen with a four-seat island that opens straight onto a covered patio with a full outdoor kitchen. Two primary suites — one on the main level, one upstairs with dual walk-in closets and unobstructed ridgeline views. Fully fenced yard with a raised garden.

All inside the award-winning La Crescenta school district.

5 Bed | 4 Bath | 3,244 SF | 10,396 SF Lot
5432 Vista Del Arroyo Dr, La Crescenta, CA

A home isn't just where you live — it's where your family's next chapter happens. When you're ready to make that move, we'll help you find the one worth staying in.

This is Project Mar Vista, a fire rebuild in Altadena. We're a couple months in, framing is up, and the family still hasn't locked a landscaping plan. Pool or no pool. What features go in the backyard. None of it decided yet — and that's fine.

A lot of homeowners rebuilding after the fire feel like day one means every choice is final. It isn't. Landscaping sits far enough downstream that it can wait until you can actually see how the budget and timeline are shaping up. You'll make a better decision then than you would have at the start.

In the meantime the trades keep rolling. Insulation and drywall are next.

Knowing which decisions are urgent and which ones can wait is most of what keeps a rebuild moving instead of stalling.

Rebuilding in Altadena? Comment REBUILD and we'll walk you through what has to be decided when.

Two years ago, this Burbank owner pulled the permit. Life happened — the project sat.Now we're back.We're converting a 1,000 sq ft three-car garage on a 6-unit property into a full ADU. The city helped us reactivate the permit, and we're officially in the ground on Victory Two.This is what most people don't see — the patience it takes to get a project like this off the ground, and the process of picking it back up when the timing is finally right.One old structure. One new home. One more unit on a property that's been waiting two years for this moment.If you're sitting on an approved permit or thinking about a garage conversion in LA County, drop your city in the comments — I'll tell you what usually gets flagged in your area before you break ground.📍 Burbank, CA | Victory Two — ADU Conversion

07/28/2026

We're diving into Phase 1 of our Victory ADU conversion! 🏁 Demolition is complete, and we're ready for our framing crew to come in and start shaping the new layout. 🔨
But before we can go vertical, we need to shore up the foundation. Enter: underpin footings. 🪜🧱
Our concrete wizards are cutting precise 2'x2'x2' sections to add these strategic supports. The rebar in these footings will be epoxied into the existing slab, tying the new structure seamlessly into the old bones of the building. 🤝
Swipe for a peek at the structural plan! 👉 Every line on the page represents a carefully engineered decision to create a rock-solid foundation for this ADU's new chapter. 📏💡
Stay tuned as we build on this groundwork and watch the new layout rise! 🌇

We were mid-conversion on a garage-to-ADU when we found this.Mature tree growing into the structure — pushed an existing wall right off its foundation. Roots already under the slab.Most crews flag it and wait. We braced, demoed, coordinated with the neighbor, and kept the project moving.This is the stuff nobody films.DM us "CUSTOM" if you're planning a conversion and want to know what to ask your builder upfront.

You're not paying a builder to follow the plans. You're paying them to catch the thing the plans missed.
Here's one call we made on the [project location] build — [the problem], and why we didn't take the easy way through it. You'll never see this decision in the finished house. You'd only ever notice it if we got it wrong.
Follow along. 🔨

Rebuilding in Altadena? Your permit doesn't go through the City of LA — Altadena is unincorporated, so it runs through LA County Public Works (there's even an Altadena One-Stop Permit Center). Here's the actual path: debris + soil, plans to current fire code and WUI requirements, pick your permit lane (like-for-like is fastest), then review. How fast you move depends heavily on how clean your submittal is — many delays come from incomplete submittals, not just the county. DM REBUILD for the whole path on one page. No pitch.

Altadena isn’t just a place—it’s a community.
These 8 homes are owned by original Altadena residents, rebuilding on their own land after the fire.
Brick by brick, family by family, we’re bringing Altadena back. 🏡🤍
