Alta Street extends roughly two blocks distance in the heart of Lincoln Heights, from just off North Mission Road across from Lincoln Park behind the Lincoln Heights retirement home to a cul-de-sac by the school. Located near the corner at Mission Road, a short walkway leads through a gate and across an overgrown yard to 3105 Alta St., an easily overlooked two-and-a-half story house in need of a good painting. A short driveway leads back to a weathered carport.
