Location Characteristics: A delightful suburb with a rural flair, La Canada is renowned for its award winning schools, low crime rates and "small town" atmosphere. Numerous residents ride their horses through the streets and some of them even stable their horses at home. The city's general plan is to maintain and enhance the city's character as a low density, wooded, hillside residential community. There are several distinct neighborhoods: "La Canada Flintridge" (South of Foothill Blvd.), "Sagebrush" (West of Rosebank; NOT in the La Canada school district), "Meadow Grove" (South of Foothill & East of Gould) and "Deodars" upper La Canada, not too hilly - a very wooded and serene neighborhood.
