Since I move to Pasadena in 1996 the city still has a nice great looking view to the north side area we can see San Gabriel Mountain and the southwest the Rose Bowl to east side beautiful houses .
as well to the south It grow a lot and faster than any other cities, but people in here are very friendly respectfully.

This neighborhood is mainly younger couples and singles and there are no close by parks. Not very much neighbor contact because most of the residents are apartments and condos and high priced rent.

Very nice city, but it is pretty gentrified. Too expensive on a fixed income unless you really planned for retirement. Neighborhoods and business streets are being razed and apartments are being built.
