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. When you’re done exploring the past, dive in to the present on Montecito Heights’ vibrant stretch of Broadway, where you’ll find diverse eateries, shops, markets, salons, and more. Area attractions like Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium, and LA’s bustling Chinatown are all within minutes of the neighborhood as well. Quick access to the 5, 10, and 110 freeways makes getting around from Montecito Heights a breeze.
