South Pasadena

Tucked just beyond the bustling energy of Los Angeles, South Pasadena offers a rare blend of historic charm, coastal beauty, and urban convenience. Affectionately known as the “City of Trees,” this community delivers a tranquil, small-town atmosphere with quick access to everything the greater LA area has to offer.

Waterfront Living with Character

What sets South Pasadena apart is its residential waterfront lifestyle along Boca Ciega Bay. Whether you’re gazing out over the water from a balcony condo, strolling the edge of the bay from a cozy townhouse, or enjoying a rare single-family home near the shoreline, the views and the serenity are second to none. Water is woven into the rhythm of daily life here, creating a calm, scenic backdrop that’s hard to find elsewhere.

A Slower Pace, A Welcoming Community

South Pasadena has a mature and established population, making it an ideal setting for those seeking a slower, more intentional lifestyle. The community’s thoughtful pace is reflected in its quiet streets, waterfront parks, and active yet peaceful vibe. Whether you're enjoying a sunset stroll or attending a local event, it’s a place that invites you to savor each moment.

Rooted in History, Built for the Future

Before it was South Pasadena, it was “Coreytown”—a hub of business and nightlife. Since its incorporation in 1955, the city has grown into a community proud of its past and dedicated to its future. Architectural preservation, sustainability, and public safety are core values here, and you can feel that pride in every street, storefront, and home.

Local Life, Naturally Enriching

South Pasadena’s walkable downtown buzzes with local restaurants, charming boutiques, and independently owned businesses that bring personality to everyday life. Add in the Arroyo Seco Golf Course, tree-shaded parks, and waterfront recreation, and you get a well-rounded, fulfilling lifestyle grounded in nature and neighborliness.

A Place Where Past and Present Thrive Together

Living in South Pasadena means more than just owning a home—it means joining a community where history, connection, and natural beauty are deeply valued. It’s a place where tree-lined streets meet bayfront views, where the pace is calm but the amenities are modern, and where the past is celebrated even as the city moves forward.
