South Pasadena, the City of Trees

A charming small town six miles from downtown Los Angeles, known for its historic homes, independent shops and top-rated schools.

Small-town feel, close to everything

South Pasadena's roughly 25,000 residents live on just 3.44 square miles of flatland and hillside on the west side of the San Gabriel Valley. That small-town atmosphere makes it one of the most desirable places to live in California.

Prospect Manor is within walking distance of the South Pasadena Metro station (A Line, formerly the Gold Line), so visiting family can arrive by train, and residents can get out and about easily.
