Neighborhood overview

Cottage Grove is in Glendale, California. The one-block stretch of Cottage Grove Avenue at the foot of Adams Hill, Glendale.

The developer gave the homes a uniform cottage form and Tudor Revival style to create the feel of an English village, with a few Spanish Colonial Revival homes mixed in. The district also includes a 1901 farmhouse owned by the woman who first sold the land.

The City's survey defines the district as the parcels facing Cottage Grove Avenue between E. Palmer Avenue and Green Street, a boundary close to the original Tract 7436, the Fox Brothers Tract. The City publishes a district map and an online property search.

Homes & property types

Fourteen single-family homes, most built within a short time span, according to the City, and sharing one architectural vocabulary. The City's historic resources survey dates twelve of them to 1924 to 1928, nine Tudor Revival and three Spanish Colonial Revival, and notes that each has a detached one- or two-car garage matching the house.

What makes properties here different

With only 14 homes, sales inside Cottage Grove are rare, so comparable sales may need to come from nearby period homes of similar size. Note the home's style and contributing status, and have approvals for past work ready.

Living in the neighborhood

The block sits at the foot of Adams Hill, according to the City.

The survey traces the tract to Helene Ungerland, who owned the 1901 farmhouse and subdivided the land. In 1924 the Fox Brothers realty company, brothers Harry, Preston and John Fox from Ohio, bought Tract 7436 and advertised an English-themed village of Tudor Revival cottages, which the name Cottage Grove was meant to evoke. Two original concrete street lights with post-mounted luminaires still stand on the block.
