Neighborhood

Situated in northeast Los Angeles, just four miles from downtown, Montecito Heights sits atop a hilly landscape separating LA from the San Gabriel Valley. From the neighborhood’s steep hills, you can catch stunning views of downtown and the San Gabriel Valley in addition to the Arroyo Seco and even the Pacific Ocean (on a clear day).

Montecito Heights is known for its secluded feel despite being minutes away from Downtown LA. Natural beauty and lush parks abound in Montecito Heights. Ernest E. Debs Regional Park is one of the neighborhood’s defining features, touting 300 acres of scenic hiking trails, biking paths, picnic tables, a peaceful pond, and the striking panoramic views the neighborhood is revered for.

Montecito Heights is also home to the Heritage Square Museum, a living history museum that details life in 19th-century Southern California.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
