Ranch-style homes, split-levels and Mediterranean homes in Daisy-Villa

Located on the east side of Pasadena, Daisy-Villa is purely residential, composed of streets lined with single-family homes and tall trees that shade the sidewalks and streets. Most of the houses have views of the San Gabriel Mountains, which loom over the community from the north. The homes have plenty of space for garden beds, sometimes landscaped with sculpted boxwood shrubs and rose bushes. Developed in the 1940s through the 1950s, most of the neighborhood’s homes are ranch style, many with front porches or bay windows. There are also Mediterranean homes, bungalows and split-levels scattered throughout the community.

Prices range from $900,000 to $1.9 million, depending more on the number of bedrooms and renovations than the architectural style. The area is now starting to appeal to renters as well as buyers. “The home I sold there is an investment property,” says Realtor Cyrus Mohseni, who works with Keystone Team and has about a decade of experience in the area. “A lot of people are trying to rent homes in Pasadena because of the proximity to LA, and it’s gorgeous, with a bunch of historic homes. Also, it has a pretty strong school district as well.”
