Orange Heights
Classic California homes
Orange Heights’ residential blocks are lined with Craftsman and California bungalows from the 1910s to the 1930s featuring clapboard siding, large front-facing windows, wide roofs with overhanging eaves and spacious front porches. Many of them boast roomy, manicured front yards and back yards large enough for a detached garage. The streetscapes are picturesque: views of the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, homes on elevated lots reinforced by arroyo and concrete retaining walls and closely spaced mature trees lining each residential street, complete with wide sidewalks, perfect for an after-dinner stroll. Home prices in the neighborhood range from $760,000 to a little under $2 million.John Muir High
Public schools serving the neighborhood are overseen by Pasadena Unified School District. Washington Elementary has a C-plus grade on Niche, while Octavia Butler Middle has a 4-out-of-10 rating on GreatSchools. John Muir High has a B-plus grade on Niche and offers dual enrollment classes at the northwest campus of Pasadena City College, which enables students to earn college credit while still in high school.City parks and mountain preserves
While Orange Heights itself is predominantly residential, locals looking for a bit of fresh air can head to Washington Park, off El Molino Avenue, for its five acres of green space, athletic fields and playgrounds. Residents also have easy access to nearby outdoor spaces like Eaton Canyon Natural Area, a vast preserve located to the northeast of Pasadena, which offers hiking trails, a nature center and waterfall views.Central Pasadena Shopping and Dining
Orange Heights is just north of Old Town Pasadena, a walkable retail district initially established in 1874 and today features national chains like Pottery Barn, Apple and Target. Locals can pick up groceries at Food 4 Less, located off North Lake Avenue. Not too far from there is Roma Market, an Italian grocery store that also holds the distinction of serving what many call the best Italian sandwich in Pasadena.Getting around Pasadena
The neighborhood is conveniently near the I-210 and I-134 interchange, which is perfect for traversing the rest of LA County or the Inland Empire. Major thoroughfares such as Lake Avenue and Washington Boulevard provide easy access to downtown Pasadena and other parts of the Los Angeles metro area. These roads are crucial for residents who commute to work or seek leisure and shopping options outside the neighborhood. Orange Heights is also served by the Metro Local bus on routes 256 and 662 and the Pasadena Transit bus on routes 31 and 32.Nearby Events
Orange Heights participates in Pasadena's annual events like the Craftsman Weekend, hosted by Pasadena Heritage, and the Pasadena Chalk Festival, where artists create temporary masterpieces on the pavements of Paseo Colorado.
