Suburbs near the Rose Bowl

Situated in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, just three miles north of downtown Pasadena, sits East Arroyo, a commuter-friendly neighborhood with easy access to the 210 and the Ventura Freeway. “The draw here is that you’re so close to the Rose Bowl, which most people love,” says Sotheby’s broker associate Brandon Road, who has over 20 years of experience and specializes in the Pasadena market. “Some of my clients listen to concerts in their backyard; they don’t have to pay to go to the stadium. And if there are games, you can walk there.” Road says that even when there aren’t events, there’s a lot to do, including a 3-mile loop to walk, run or bike.

Close to Old Pasadena shops

Outside of the Rose Bowl area, East Arroyo is primarily residential, with shopping and dining done in nearby business districts. “Old Pasadena is so close you can walk to it, or it’s a very short drive,” Road says. The 22 blocks of the neighborhood are designated a National Register Historic District because of the impeccably returned late 19th and early 20th-century architecture. Known fondly as “Old Pas,” this historically significant district has a robust stretch of diverse retailers, local independent restaurants and open-air shopping plazas. To the west of the Long Beach Freeway is a Ralphs for stocking up on groceries and essentials.

Tournament of Roses and other events

Pasadena maintains a robust calendar of annual events, with the Tournament of Roses being the highlight each year. The New Year’s Day celebration is iconic, headlined by magnificent floats decorated with vibrant fresh flowers. The parade draws equestrian units and marching bands from all over the country and visitors from all over the world. Another highlight is Cheeseburger Week, which celebrates an all-American staple invented here in Pasadena. There are also regular music events, the Chalk Festival, the Colorado Bridge Festival and Enchanted at Descanso Gardens, to name just a few.

A golf course, parks and an aquatic center

One of the primary sources of recreation and entertainment in East Arroyo is Brookside Park, a 61-acre park on the neighborhood's western side. Along with many of the amenities that come with a traditional park — playgrounds, picnic tables and lots of green space — there are also many attractions. Golf enthusiasts have 36 holes at the Brookside Golf Club and the Kidspace Children’s Museum is popular with families. The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center offers year-round aquatic and fitness programs.

For even more sporting events, the famous Rose Bowl stadium offers sporting events year-round along and events like the Rose Bowl Flea Market, which meets on the second Sunday of each month and regularly attracts 20,000 visitors, though the crowds aren't a problem for residents. “There are guards stationed at the entrances to the neighborhood, checking IDs to make sure only residents park there," Kuo says.
