Eagle Rock, which is bordered by Glassell Park, Glendale and Pasadena, was named the Hottest Los Angeles Neighborhood of 2016 by LACurbed.com.” Though it usually falls under the radar, it is notable as the home of HBO’s seriesTogetherness-where Eagle Rock was featured throughout, and most notably Occidental College, where former President Barack Obama was a student.
