Set south of Sierra Madre Boulevard

Set 5 miles northeast of Pasadena and 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Lower Hastings Ranch is the portion of the Hastings neighborhood situated south of Sierra Madre Boulevard. It’s a community of vintage homes and connected residents. “It’s very friendly and very family-oriented; neighbors know each other,” says Realtor Shahe Seuylemezian of REMAX Dream Properties, a longtime resident with over 20 years in the business. The neighborhood is also safe, with violent crime happening at half the national rate.

Bigger homes on larger lots

Compared to Upper Hastings Ranch, single-family homes south of Sierra Madre Boulevard are larger and situated on bigger lots. “Upper is more tract homes, whereas you’re going to get more custom homes in Lower,” says founder and CEO of Realiv Kevin Kwan, who has almost two decades of experience in the market. Homes were built between the 1950s and ‘70s, typically between 1,800 and 3,000 square feet, while lots are closer to 10,000. Kwan says the smallest homes are closest to Foothill Boulevard, noting that properties get larger as you go north. “You’re not going to see as many properties for sale here, and they’re going to be more expensive.” Lower Hastings Ranch is mostly single-family, but there are a handful of condos and townhomes. Prices range from $1.3 million for a midcentury home with over 1,400 square feet to $2.2 million for an updated ranch-style home with over 2,500 square feet. Condos and townhomes sell between $600,000 and $1 million.

Gathering at nearby Hamilton Park

Green space is integral to the Southern California experience, though Upper Hastings Ranch has more outdoor access due to its proximity to the San Gabriel Wilderness and the Angeles National Forest, compared to Lower.
