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.
