Just South of Pasadena is a Small Town, South Pasadena. Centrally located in the West San Gabriel Valley, South Pasadena is known for its tree-lined streets, historic California Craftsman-style homes, unique small businesses and its outstanding public schools. This small town atmosphere and prime location makes South Pasadena one of California's most desirable locations.
South Pasadena prides itself on its small town character. Few cities in the nation are better recognized for their determination to preserve their neighborhoods and small-town atmosphere. Less than three and one-half square miles in area, South Pasadena lies between the vibrant City of Pasadena, of which it was once part, and downtown Los Angeles.
Canopies of century-old trees line the streets. From Craftsman-style bungalows to modern hilltop mansions to downtown luxury lofts. The historic main street, Mission West is home to an eclectic mix of merchants. The area is part of the original Route 66. Here you’ll find a nostalgic soda fountain right alongside trendy cafés, shops and stops. Every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. on Meridian at Mission Street a Farmer’s Market takes place which features the finest in fruits and vegetables, including organic cheeses, fresh flowers, honey, breads, eggs, herbs and much more.
