Sierra Madre lies in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains below the Southern edge of Angeles National Forest.  It is bordered by Arcadia and Pasadena and is part of Los Angeles County.

It's a nice town where everyone knows their neighbors, are helpful to each other and block parties are still fun and well attended.

Sierra Madre is known for its Wistaria festival which celebrates its 114 year old, 1+ acre wisteria vine, which is named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest blooming plant and one of the seven horticultural wonders of the world.

The town is also home to the only remaining volunteer fire department in the Greater Los Angeles area and has no traffic signals within its town limits. 

This small village in the Sierra Madre Canyon area is noted for being a distinct and unusual community. The Canyon is characterized by narrow and winding roads, lush vegetation, views of the San Gabriel Valley, and small bungalows or cabins.  Some of these homes have spectacular views and offer large private lots.  The downtown has small restaurants and shops.

Sierra Madre's population is almost 11,000 people as of 2007 with 86% being white, 6% asian, a little over 1% black and the rest are classified as "other".

There were 99 home sales in 2007 with a median price of $853,000 and 16 condo sales with a median price of $559,000.  The average age of homes is 42 years old.

The inventory in Sierra Madre is growing quickly.  As of May 2007, there are 43 active homes on the market which means that there are over 5 months of inventory signalling a strong buyer's market.
