In the shadow of the San Gabriel Mountains
Three miles from downtown Pasadena and 12 from Los Angeles, San Pasqual is a suburban neighborhood stocked with vintage character homes. “Most of the homes were built in the 1920s when there weren’t as many restrictions in terms of zoning, so you might end up in a home that was used as a barbershop almost a century ago,” says Mikki Porretta, real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers, who does a lot of business in the area. The community’s sleepy, tree-lined streets sit in the shadow of the San Gabriel Mountains, which paint a beautiful backdrop to the north. “The main thing here is going to be proximity to the Huntington Library and its’ beautiful gardens and art museum,” says Compass broker associate Kathy Gibson, who has over 30 years of experience in the San Gabriel Valley and has been a Pasadena resident since 1989.
One mile from the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens
Situated on over five acres in the western corner of the neighborhood, Eaton Blanch Park is San Pasqual’s only community park. Sports facilities include lighted tennis and basketball courts, picnic tables, playground equipment and a rose garden. “You’re under a mile away from the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Garden, which is a huge draw to this area,” Gibson says. The research and cultural center is set on 120 acres dotted by a dozen specialized gardens. The Huntington Lily Ponds are a modern Monet painting come to life. The library has a remarkable collection of rare books and artistic works from three continents. “There are so many cool architectural details in the library; it’s a beautiful building,” Gibson says.

Vintage character homes built from the 1920s through the 1960s
San Pasqual is a picturesque neighborhood comprising mostly single-family character homes built between the 1920s and ‘60s. “The architecture of the homes is so beautiful and varied. You’ve got Craftsmans, Colonials and Spanish-inspired homes built in the ‘20s and ‘30s,” Gibson says. “As a broker, I can tell you that homes tend to get less valuable as they age, but that’s not the case in Pasadena. You pay a premium per square foot on the oldest properties with major system upgrades.” There are some contemporary additions, but Gibson says that’s not what buyers want in this neighborhood. Homes range in price from around $1.1 million for something compact and vintage to over $3 million for something classic but more expansive. A small pocket of condos along East Del Mar Boulevard range in price from about $500,000 for a one-bedroom to $1.5 million for a three-bedroom, four-bath place with over 2,000 square feet.
