While holding my listing at 3411 Markridge open, I was asked several times if the home was in La Crescenta or Glendale. Many homes in the 91214 zip have Glendale mailing addresses but for real estate purposes, these homes are considered La Crescenta. If you ask these homeowners where they reside, their answer would be La Crescenta. A small portion of La Crescenta and Montrose is unincorporated, while the vast majority is Glendale.
Most La Crescenta home buyers are seeking La Crescenta’s blue ribbon schools. They are part of the Glendale Unified School District, whether Glendale or La Crescenta mailing address, most homes in the 91214 zip code are served by Crescenta Valley High. This school ranks higher than the two high schools in Glendale.
LA Unified serves only a few homes near the Lowell Ave. border. In this suburban Foothill community, it’s all about the blue-ribbon schools!
