Most are of the rich and super rich factory owners, so while they do have lots of money, they still act like the low class villagers they came up from.Īlso I didn't know the theatre was turning into a church. I guess the only other con that I have would be the new mainland Chinese immigrants. Crime has been on the rise, but that's everywhere (including my little quiet neighborhood in Northridge). According to friends that still love in the area, it is still safe (growing up, it's not uncommon to see people out past 10 pm on their nightly jogs and whatnot). I ended up buying in Northridge, but for my kids I do wish I was back in the 626. When it was time for me to buy my own house, I simply could not afford anything in the San Gabriel Valley. They have pushed a lot of the Taiwanese and Hong Kongnese immigrants from the 70's and 80's out. Some of the cons are the artificial inflation of real estate prices by rich mainland Chinese investors. Between Pasadena and South Pas, there's a lot of great churches and houses of worship to get you and your family plugged in. Made things interesting during rivalry week), smaller schools (except Arcadia), lots of great food everywhere (you're going to have to get a lot more specific when you say you want to go eat Chinese food), and all around great area to be. Top notch schools (my cousin went to South Pas, I went to San Marino. Growing up in the SGV for most of my life, the area is a great place to grow up in. Its lovely and it has something to me that is just worth it. If I had the funds to do so I would move there.
The bigger streets are getting some revamps so the cracks and other problems may not be so bad there but still be cautious.Īll that being said, I live in Monrovia, and am willing to take the Gold Line there just to walk about and enjoy South Pasadena's culture.There's no real other part of the world I can think of that still retains the historical feel I get as I walk around. As someone said here the pavement is old a lot on the smaller streets. Your closest freeway access is the old part of 110 Your other near freeways the 210, and 10 are all located a bit further down through main drags of Alhambra and Pasadena. A lot of the lots are very small and old small bungalows. House or apartment prices are way high for a small space. Schools are fairly decent they aren't Arcadia but I mean they are still better than most.Ĭons: As said small town feel for most of the city, which is an adjustment if you've lived on the West Side of Los Angeles. You have all three markets in four blocks of each other, Vons and Pavilions being right across the street from each other (?), so if you are on the edges of town you have to travel to that epicenter for everything. The toss up of the pros and cons are such: there is stuff as mentioned to do for the night time crowd and a few reasonable businesses but its all condensed in a small area. There is a bit of night life not a lot but a few good trendy bars for a few blocks so if you want to leave your kid for the night and go on date nights its doable without driving too much. The houses are gorgeous and its not too developed with luxury living complexes. Which is a great thing to use to access Pasadena's great weekend night life and access to Downtown There is a weekly Farmer's Market that is pretty great. Pros of South Pasadena is that it has a small town feel.
