About the Community
Hacienda Heights combines the accessibility of a major Los Angeles suburb with a surprisingly diverse housing stock and strong community identity. This unincorporated community of over 55,000 residents sits in the eastern San Gabriel Valley with quick freeway access in every direction and a cultural richness that shows in its dining, landmarks, and community life.
The real estate market spans a wide range—from well-maintained starter homes in established tracts to hillside custom estates with sweeping views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The north-facing hills offer some of the most impressive view properties in the entire San Gabriel Valley at price points well below comparable homes in the westside or coastal markets.
Home to the Hsi Lai Temple (one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in the Western hemisphere), excellent dining from every corner of the globe, and a strong network of community parks and recreation, Hacienda Heights offers genuine value and livability. Laura Fox and Kevin Fox bring years of local expertise to help buyers find exceptional homes in this undervalued market.
