South Pasadena Overview

Snugly located between the hubs of Los Angeles and its sister city greater Pasadena, South Pasadena is a popular hunk of California real estate. Reaching over close to four square miles and home to over 45,000 residents, those in the market for a new place to call home on the west coast would do well to consider this idyllic California landscape.

What is the history of South Pasadena?

Taking the name South Pasadena and incorporating in 1888,  this historic land quickly became a popular suburban destination of greater Los Angeles in the early 1900s. Boasting tree-lined scenic streets and plenty of relaxed ambiance, South Pasadena apartments quickly became home to a variety of denizens, from local university professors to working-class merchants that dominate the markets of the business district. The notorious Route 66 snakes its way into the city as well, and in recent years the streets of South Pasadena have been a haven for Hollywood films ranging from 'The Terminator' to 'American Pie'. 

How is the weather in South Pasadena?

Like much of California, when people think of South Pasadena they think of sunshine. Summers lean towards the hot and dry, while springs bring welcome rain and winters are largely chill-free.

How do I get around town?

The LA Metro Gold Line offers transfers throughout the city, and some bus service is available to those residing in apartments for rent in South Pasadena as well thanks to SP Community Transit. A long-in-the-works extension of Interstate 710 has been snarled in various hold ups for years, with little end in sight. Still, a majority of locals prefer to own a personal automobile for getting around, and bicycling remains a popular mode of criss-crossing the town as well.

What is the South Pasadena commute like?

South Pasadena is surrounded by an array of roadways, including the Arroyo Seco Parkway, and those commuting to greater Los Angeles can expect a fair share of the famous LA traffic to go with it. Traversing the city center, however, is generally a breeze, thanks to thoroughfares such as Huntington Drive and Mission Street.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'South Pasadena Review' has been the hometown news source for decades, with the 'LA Times' popular in the region as well. Broadcast television options are wide-reaching, with a number of affiliates providing programming from NBC, CBS and the like, with PBS available as well. Radio consists of modern rock alternative, classical offerings, urban R&B formats and NPR talk.

With a local economy based largely around grocery, hardware and the like, apartments for rent in South Pasadena definitely cater to the 'little big city' vibe of California. Streets flanked by scenic redwood and ash trees only add to the charisma of this thoroughly 'Main Street, USA' city, and South Pasadena seems to emit a relaxed ambiance that is tangible for all who arrive. Flush with popular eateries and local watering holes, this west coast hot spot is sure to please a variety of lifestyles.

What South Pasadena landmarks should I see?

The Bradbury Building is a beyond-impressive living monument to the city's storied history, while the Gamble House is worth the wait for a tour as well. Those with a love for architecture would choose well to stroll down Carroll Avenue, filled with historic homes and gardens, while music and true-crime fans will undoubtedly want to stop by Pyrenees Castle, the mansion formerly owned by infamous producer Phil Spector. The Colorado Street Bridge is yet another scenic spot great for photography, located just a stone's throw from many South Pasadena rentals.

What is there to do around South Pasadena?

Enjoy an afternoon of quiet reflection with a visit to the Storrier Sterns Japanese Gardens, or make the short drive to the Hollywood Hills Sculpture Garden. The Arroyo Seco is an nature lover's dream, filled with hiking and walking trails, and Garfield Park is an ideal spot for a picnic, close to a number of South Pasadena apartments. 

Any annual festivals or South Pasadena events to know?

The Eclectic Music and Arts Festival lives up to its name through a diverse combination of performance artists, while the Festival of Balloons soars to new heights each and every year.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Some of the best nightclubs and restaurants in the nation can be found just a few miles away in the heart of Los Angeles, while the famous California coastline and the scenic roadway Highway 101 can be found within a quick ride as well.
