Featured Pasadena Neighborhoods
Whether you’re looking to maintain proximity to Los Angeles and a similar vibe without the hassle or you’re considering a bigger relocation, Pasadena is well worth exploring. Comfortably established at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, Pasadena boasts luxury homes and suburban ease with no shortage of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Why Pasadena? Pasadena is a refined, peaceful suburb of about 140,000 residents just 10 miles away—but in many ways can seem a world apart—from downtown Los Angeles. The largest age bracket in Pasadena is 25-34, suggesting that many young professionals and young families are recognizing Pasadena as a great place to call home. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just getting started, this beautiful city is hard to beat. Pasadena has something for everyone. Outdoorsy types will appreciate its proximity to the San Gabriel Mountain range, making a daily hike a viable option. With over 40 historic landmarks, history buffs will have plenty to explore and foodies have no shortage of amazing dining establishments. Pasadena is also home to Caltech (California Institute of Technology) and about four dozen schools that are easily accessible regardless of what neighborhood you end up in. Top Neighborhoods You may already be convinced, but what neighborhood should you consider settling down in? We lay out some of our favorites below. Linda Vista The best word to describe this neighborhood is “quaint”. Between the Rosebowl and the Art Center Pasadena, the ranch style 50’s era homes dominate this area, giving it an established and noble feel. With a recently high turnover rate, larger homes with ample privacy are readily available. Markham Place Markham Place was one of the first real neighborhoods in Pasadena and the key word here is “preservation.” Huntington Hospital is a central landmark making this area ideal for health professionals. Listed on the National Register of Historic Place, this epic historic district oozes impressive architecture.with a staggering range of home styles. Historic Highlands This neighborhood grew to prominence between 1912 and 1920 and features stately and impressive homes that aren’t mansions. This neighborhood boasts larger lots and homes that were custom-built for the wealthy of the time. This is a great neighborhood for a young growing family. It also has a bit of an “east coast vibe” making it a great fit for a coastal relocation. Daisy-Villa If you are looking for a home with close proximity to a park, this neighborhood can’t be beat. The massive Victory Park, home to one of the largest local Farmer’s Markets, is also walking distance to Pasadena’s favorite dog park. Proximity to the freeway will also cut commute time for those working east of Pasadena. The traditional post-war architecture also makes homes here ideal for those looking for affordability. Bungalow Heaven Unsurprisingly, this neighborhood features charming early 1900s bungalows built by famous architects of the time. The original Craftsman homes in this area are preserved by limiting what homeowners can do to the outward appearance of their homes. Washington Square Homes in Washington Square

Charitable Giving

Join Us In Support Of Door Of Hope
We are officially in the busy season of planning and coordinating events so I wanted to be sure to get on your social calendar early! Through Women Networking For Women, a group I co-founded, we are hosting a fundraiser on October 13th in support of Door of Hope. Door of Hope is one of the only homeless providers that can shelter any kind of family together in their own private unit, including single moms, single dads, and two-parent families together with their children. We are currently looking for sponsors who are interested in supporting this wonderful cause and for exposure to the area’s most reputable professionals. Visit here or reach out to me to become a sponsor or to secure your ticket. For more information, see the below flyer. Our goal is to raise $31,000, specifically for The Los Robles shelter which is in need of new beds and dressers and is overdue for a fresh coat of paint. This budget would cover bunk beds and dressers as well as a full repaint of the 2nd ﬂoor, kitchen, dining room and back porch. I am passionate about giving back and supporting non-profits that speak to my heart. I do this by donating my time, hosting fundraisers and monetarily. My connection to the community and these organizations allows me to give back, create invaluable connections for others, and ultimately support our most at risk neighbors. I'm excited to be part of this amazing event and hope you will join us. Supporting local organizations and other women brings me so much joy. I truly believe Winston Churchill got it right: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
