Pasadena Life

Pasadena is a unique community located in Los Angeles county, just a few miles north of Downtown Los Angeles.  What makes Pasadena, CA a popular place to  live and play is the same reason that lured the newer settlers of the area at the turn of the century:  principally, the weather and natural environments that allow the perfect setting for active lifestyles.  It is a microcosm that represents the greatness of California.  The diversity of the people who live there give you a sense of community and it offers the best of California wether it be the many great restaurants, traditional events, wonderfully preserved old & architecturally significant homes, the colleges & universities, or the beauty of mountain views and the effort to preserve natural settings.  The following will present you with only a glimpse of what Pasadena has to offer since no two people have the same experience while visiting and every resident has their own perspective and reason for living here.
