About the host
Hosted by Jeremiah Small
Norah was raised in this neighborhood, and we live just a few doors away from El Ranchito in the house she grew up in. We're third generation on Stonehill Drive, a close-knit neighborhood where everyone knows and looks out for each other. Jeremiah grew up in Philadelphia, and went to New York University. Jeremiah and Norah met and married after graduate school, and together moved to Los Angeles for a job opportunity. Norah's parents decided to retire out of state a few years later, and we were able to buy the house Norah grew up in.
Why they chose this property
We purchased El Ranchito, located just a few doors away from our house, after the original owner passed away. We have renovated it it so that our parents can move back to Stonehill Drive when they're ready to live closer to us as they get older. One day in the future, we could even see ourselves retiring here. This is a neighborhood that people don't often move out of, and we have restored El Ranchito with the long term in mind.
What makes this property unique
Located at about 1500 feet above sea level and in a canyon, we have our own microclimate here. The canyon shields us from the sun in the early morning and late afternoon, helping keep things cool, and the canyon has its own breathing rhythm. Air flows up canyon from the valley floor during the day at 4mph, and cool mountain air flows down at 4mph during the night. We have central air for the occasional days when it's needed in the afternoon, but on most days, we choose to use shades and breezes during the hot part of the day, and our whole house fan to cool everything off after the sun sets.
There is an abundance of native plants and animals living here, and if you take the time to look, you may be surprised at the number and diversity of wildlife you see. We are steps from the Angeles National Forest.
