Why the price shifts as you cross city lines
Historic masonry, salt-air corrosion, foothill fire exposure, and inland heat each price out differently, so the plan should not match.
historic San Gabriel Valley city
Pasadena
Much of Pasadena's housing went up between the 1920s and the 1950s, which means unreinforced masonry stacks are the rule rather than the exception here, and the repair math usually comes down to seismic bracing and the state of the original mortar joints.
San Gabriel Valley suburban city
Alhambra
Alhambra has a dense mix of older homes with original masonry and newer prefabricated fireplace systems that need different maintenance approaches.
unincorporated foothill community above Pasadena

Glendale
Glendale features a rich mix of early 20th-century bungalows, Spanish Colonial homes, and newer hillside construction, many with original masonry chimneys built decades ago. The city's proximity to the Verdugo Mountains also raises wildfire preparedness concerns.
Highland Park and Northeast Los Angeles
