An easygoing Pasadena neighborhood with its own shopping corridor
Muir Heights is a little-known neighborhood on the northern outskirts of Pasadena, but that’s part of its appeal. Only a few miles from Old Town and more attractions, neighbors can experience a slower-paced, calmer lifestyle a stone’s throw away from bustling city attractions. “The Rose Bowl is nearby, and there's a huge park near that. It’s an up-and-coming area,” says Realtor James Maxwell who works with LA Real and has over two decades of experience in the area. The Specific Plan for Lincoln Avenue began a few years ago in 2021 and encouraged growth along the retail corridor — a change that’s come to fruition. In Muir Heights, neighbors can stroll along their own convenient street of local restaurants, cafes and shops without heavy traffic or large crowds. The area has a small-town suburban feel where people can easily walk to local businesses for errands and outings then walk back home.
Highway 201 runs through Muir Heights, providing fast and easy commute.
For local and international groceries, Muir Heights residents shop at Super King's Market.

Lincoln Avenue restaurants and stores
Running north to south through the neighborhood, Lincoln Avenue provides centrally located, walkable retail lined with palm trees. “It's a nice little area with lots of good restaurants and Tex-Mex food,” Maxwell says. HomeState serves assorted tacos from breakfast to brisket options. Larger parties can sit down at picnic tables both inside and outside the restaurant, with a patio shaded by yellow umbrellas during the day and lit by string lights in the evening. At Perry's Joint, patrons feast on hot dogs and sandwiches while listening to jazz music, or they can opt for the quiet courtyard patio. In the morning, two cafes, Stumptown Coffee Roasters and Highlight Coffee, open their doors and invite locals in for freshly brewed cups of joe. Those looking to cook at home can pick up groceries at Super King Markets, or for more specialized meals, Ferrazzani's Pasta & Market, which sells house-made artisanal pastas, pizza dough and more Italian goods.
