Pasadena Neighborhoods

BUNGALOW HEAVEN

Bungalow Heaven was born of battle. In 1985, residents banded together to fight for downzoning after a Craftsman bungalow was torn down to make way for an apartment building. That success led residents to work for city landmark district status – a designation earned in 1989.

MADISON HEIGHTS

The neighborhood was laid out in the 19th century, and the oldest house still standing dates from 1890. Some of the origins of our street names go back to this era. The most prominent is El Molino Avenue, named for Col. E. J. C. Kewen’s El Molino Ranch with its “old mill of the padres.”

Euclid Avenue was opened in 1885 by C. M. Skellen who took the name from Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Glenarm Street was named by Thomas Banbury after his wife’s hometown in Canada. Los Robles Avenue was named after Governor George Stoneman’s ranch which was at the southern extremity of the road. Oakland Avenue originally did not extend south of California. It was named after the City of Oakland and the street was also lined with oak trees. The section of the street in Madison Heights was originally called Eastern Avenue.

HASTINGS RANCH

Hastings Ranch is a neighborhood of Pasadena, California which lies in northeast Pasadena. It is principally accessed by Sierra Madre Boulevard, Michillinda Avenue, Hastings Ranch Blvd., and Riviera Drive. Hastings Ranch is also identified by large shopping areas at its southern-most end and by a shopping center at the corner of Sierra Madre and Michillinda.

In 1882, Charles Cook Hastings purchased 1,100 acres of land between Pasadena and Sierra Madre for $7 per acre. He named his ranch Mesa Alta Rancho and began planting 300 acres with grape vines and constructed a mansion. Soon after he died, his son, Charles Houston Hastings, assumed responsibility for the land. He imported unusual specimens of plants and trees and populated the ranch with peacocks, pheasants, cats, dogs (32 collies) and champion horses. In 1928, the Hastings mansion caught fire and burned to the ground. The ranch fell into a state of disrepair and its operation was left to managers.

HISTORICAL HIGHLANDS

The Historic Highlands Neighborhood consist of approximately 730 homes. The Historic Highlands Neighborhood Association (HHNA) was formed in the early 1990’s to facilitate and encourage neighbors to collectively work together to build a stronger community and provide a unified voice to City Hall, when needed. The HHNA consists of an all volunteer Board and a number of subcommittees focused on events/issues effecting the neighborhood. Today you will find the Historic Highlands a vibrant neighborhood, with many community activities which reinforce and encourage a strong bond between neighbors. Annual events include the Historic Highlands Home Tour, Fourth of July Parade & BBQ, and the Labor Day Block Party. There are typically 2 neighborhood General Meetings held in the Spring and Fall each year to update the neighborhood on events and issues impacting the neighborhood area.

LINDA VISTA

Incorporated in 1930, the Linda Vista-Annandale Association is a nonprofit, mutual benefit corporation dedicated to the improvement and development of the Linda Vista-Annandale area of Pasadena, and promotion of the general welfare of Linda Vista-Annandale residents.

The Linda Vista-Annandale area consists of roughly 2-1/2 square miles extending from the west bank of the Arroyo Seco to the ridge of the Linda Vista Hills, and from the Devil’s Gate Dam on the north to Colorado Boulevard on the south.

GARFIELD HEIGHTS

As you gaze north anywhere in the city of Pasadena the most striking view is that of the San Gabriel mountains. Most of the year this impressive scene is noticeable as long as smog hasn’t obscured the picture. Perhaps it was this panoramic view that caused those early adventurers from east of the Rockies to want to settle here and call this once open space “home.” Some came with dreams of fortune and fame. These early settlers and founding fathers experienced a different Pasadena than what we know today. However, we in the twenty-first century have benefited greatly from the rich heritage they left to us, their posterity. Long before the establishment of the city of Pasadena, the Gabrielino Indians and later Spanish and Mexican settlers called this region home. The Spanish colonists were mainly missionaries and much of the land fell into the possession of the missions. When the Mexican government took control of the mission land, parcels were granted to loyal soldiers and farmers, thus leaving the Indians landless, and homeless. Many of them found work on the ranches which were scattered throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Some of the indigenous people utterly refused to succumb to the encroachment of newcomers.

CHAPMAN WOODS

OLD TOWN PASADENA

In the 19th century, the area know today as Old Pasadena was the commercial center center of the city. More than 200 buildings dating back to the 1880s and 1890s line the streets of Old Pasadena and are now home to trendy boutiques and stylish restaurants. The central corridor of Old Pasadena is Colorado Blvd., best know on New Year’s Day for the Tournament of Roses parade it hosts. These city blocks are favorite among pedestrians, who fill the sidewalks at night to window shop. This 22-block neighborhood has more than 80 restaurants and clubs and 120 stores, shops and boutiques.

Entertainment in Old Pasadena runs the gamut from theaters to cinemas to art galleries. At night this district has an abundance of live music and dancing venues.
