Eagle Rock

The small community of Eagle Rock has been a hidden secret for the Angeleno community for years. Its stately "Eagle Rock" landmark boulder can be viewed from the 134 Ventura Freeway. The tightly woven community of Mount Washington, urban Highland Park, and the bustling communities of Glendale and Pasadena surround Eagle Rock. It has become a convenient alternative to the more popular communities of Los Feliz and Silverlake, for people who are looking for affordability, architectural integrity, yet a sense of community charm.

East of Colorado Blvd, are beautiful, eclectic homes, which feature architecture varying from Spanish, to Craftsman, to Traditional, as well as Modern. The community amenities feature a public library, a convenient park, with full recreational facilities, including tennis courts, as well as community events held throughout the year. One such event took place earlier this year. The Eclectic Eagle Rock Home Tour took place just this past May. A stroll through the Hill Drive area was enthusiastically received. The styles in houses ranged from a Hilltop Castle, to Mexican Rancho, to Spanish Colonial Revival.

The thoroughfares of Colorado Blvd, and Eagle Rock Blvd have slowly been booming with small businesses that cater to the specific needs of the community. The range of restaurants includes fine dining, to "mom & pop" eateries, which have been popping up along both these streets. The new owners of the Westridge Eagle Rock mall, which includes a multiplex movie theatre, have updated the look and feel of this small community shopping mall for everyone’s enjoyment. With its central location, just minutes from Old Town Pasadena, and the Rose Bowl recreational area, this area has become a natural for residents who are partial to the quaint charm of Eagle Rock.
