Snugly located between the hubs of Los Angeles and its sister city greater Pasadena, South Pasadena is a popular hunk of California real estate.

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'.

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.

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.
