On the Rose Parade route
Artsy and eclectic, Playhouse Village is Pasadena’s cultural centerpiece. Named for the city’s iconic theater, this district is painted by public art and is home to museums, galleries and restaurants. “If you’re looking for walkability and a real urban environment, Playhouse Village is going to give you that,” says founder and CEO of Realiv Kevin Kwan, who has almost two decades of experience in the market. “It’s dense, and there is a lot of activity.” One day of the year known for activity is New Year’s Day when the annual Rose Parade passes through the neighborhood along East Colorado Boulevard.
Historic Pasadena Playhouse
The Pasadena Playhouse is a nearly 700-seat auditorium that has been operating since 1912. The theater is internationally known for having staged premieres of works by hundreds of writers, including Tennessee Williams. “It is one of the first and last of its kind in the area,” says Michael Bell, a Sotheby's International Realty agent with over 20 years of brokerage and investment experience. Three blocks west, the Southern California Children’s Museum is an interactive play space for kids, full of immersive activities and hands-on experiences. Around the corner is the USC Pacific Asia Museum, housing art and culture from the continent in a distinct Chinese-style building.
California Children's Museum is a popular stop for residents in the Playhouse Village.

Mostly condos and townhomes
Playhouse Village mostly features a variety of condos and townhouses, though some blocks here are lined with traditional single-family homes. “You’re only going to have a handful of single-family homes here, mostly north of Walnut Street,” Kwan says. Homes are from the early 1900s, with a heavy emphasis on the Craftsman-style bungalow, and range in price from $700,000 to $1.1 million. Kwan says the first condos and apartments were built in the 1960s, with another boom in the ‘80s. More contemporary builds have trended toward townhomes. Vintage condos are priced between $600,000 and $800,000 and more modern townhomes are between $700,000 and $1.1 million. “It’s worth noting that over 50% of the residents here are renters, so this is a high-density area with a lot of apartments,” Kwan says.
