Modern living in the heart of Pasadena's cultural district
The Meridian, completed in 2005, stands as a contemporary addition to Pasadena's vibrant Playhouse Village. This three-story condominium complex houses 92 units, offering residents a blend of urban convenience and community living. Situated on a tree-lined street, the building's stucco exterior and decorative railings complement the neighborhood's eclectic charm. The Meridian's location puts residents at the center of Pasadena's cultural scene, with easy access to theaters, museums, and the city's famed Rose Parade route along East Colorado Boulevard.
Versatile layouts with modern touches and ample space
The Meridian offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes. One-bedroom layouts span from 580 to 720 square feet, with some featuring a bathroom, and typically sell for around $500,000. Two-bedroom units, the most prevalent, range from 600 to 1,490 square feet with up to two bathrooms, and are priced between $610,000 and $640,000. For those needing more space, three-bedroom units offer 1,210 to 1,310 square feet with two to three bathrooms.
Many units boast recent renovations, featuring engineered hardwood floors, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Kitchens often include breakfast bars that open to dining and living areas, creating an inviting space for entertaining. Large windows and private balconies or patios are common features, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and providing outdoor spaces for relaxation. Some units offer vaulted ceilings, adding to the sense of spaciousness, while others include loft areas that can serve as home offices or additional living space. Walk-in closets in many bedrooms provide ample storage. Central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, and in-unit washers and dryers add convenience to daily life.

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the on-site fitness center, equipped with modern exercise machines. For social gatherings or quiet work sessions, the community lounge and multipurpose room provide versatile spaces. Recreation options extend to a billiard room for friendly competitions.
Security is a priority at The Meridian, with gated access to the complex and a secure, subterranean parking garage offering two assigned spaces per unit.

Cultural hub with diverse dining, shopping, and entertainment
The Meridian's location in Playhouse Village places residents at the heart of Pasadena's cultural scene. The neighborhood, named after the iconic Pasadena Playhouse, is a vibrant mix of artistic venues, eclectic shops, and diverse dining options. The Pasadena Playhouse itself, a nearly 700-seat auditorium operating since 1912, is a cornerstone of the local arts community, hosting premieres and performances year-round.
For everyday needs, residents have easy access to a variety of shopping options. Target and Trader Joe's are within walking distance, offering convenient grocery and household shopping. The South Lake Avenue shopping district, just a short stroll away, features a mix of national retailers and local boutiques. Dining options abound, from casual eateries like Chick-fil-A and Ben's Fast Food to more upscale experiences at nearby restaurants.
Cultural attractions in the vicinity include the USC Pacific Asia Museum, housed in a distinctive Chinese-style building, and the Southern California Children's Museum, offering interactive experiences for families. Bookworms will appreciate Vroman's Bookstore, Southern California's oldest and largest independent bookstore, known for its extensive collection and regular author events.
Green spaces provide a respite from urban life, with Grant Park offering sports courts, picnic areas, and a playground just a short walk from The Meridian. The newly developed Playhouse Village Park hosts free events, including a summer jazz series, providing a community gathering space for residents.
Education options in the area are plentiful, with Pasadena City College and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) both within easy reach. For families, the neighborhood is served by the Pasadena Unified School District, which includes several well-regarded public schools.
Well-connected with multiple transit options
The Meridian's central location in Pasadena offers residents excellent transportation options. For those who prefer public transit, several bus stops are within a five-minute walk of the complex. The Colorado & Michigan stop, served by Metro Local Lines, is just around the corner. A short walk further brings residents to the Colorado Blvd and Catalina Ave W stop, which connects to the Azusa-Arcadia-Pasadena line.
For longer journeys, the Lake Avenue Station on the Metro Gold Line is about a 15-minute walk or a quick drive away. This light rail service provides convenient access to downtown Los Angeles and other parts of the San Gabriel Valley. The extensive bus network, including routes along East Colorado Boulevard, offers additional flexibility for commuters and those exploring the wider Los Angeles area.
Cyclists will find Pasadena's streets accommodating, with dedicated bike lanes and relatively flat terrain making it easy to navigate the city on two wheels. For pedestrians, the neighborhood's high walkability means that many daily errands and outings can be accomplished on foot.
For those who prefer to drive, The Meridian's location provides easy access to major thoroughfares. The 210 freeway is nearby, offering a direct route to downtown Los Angeles, which is about 10 miles southwest. The building's secure, gated parking garage with two assigned spaces per unit ensures that residents always have a place to park upon returning home.
When it comes to air travel, residents have multiple options. Bob Hope Airport in Burbank is the closest, about a 25-minute drive away. For international flights, Los Angeles International Airport is accessible in about 40 minutes, traffic permitting. Long Beach Airport provides another alternative, roughly 45 minutes from The Meridian.
This mix of transportation options allows residents to easily navigate both their immediate surroundings and the greater Los Angeles area, making The Meridian an ideal home base for those who value connectivity and convenience.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
