ABOUT THE CITY
The City of South Pasadena is a charming community, situated only six miles from downtown Los Angeles. Called the City of Trees, the area is known for its stunning homes, unique small businesses, and top-quality schools. South Pasadena's diverse population of about 25,000 occupies a mere 3.44 square miles of flatlands and hillsides on the west side of the San Gabriel Valley. More than 100 acres of parks and playgrounds blanket its landscape and more than 21,000 trees adorn its streets. The quiet, historic character of its attractive neighborhoods is a testament to the preservationist efforts of residents in protecting both its architectural and natural beauty. The city enjoys a low crime rate and the benefits of a close-knit, participation-oriented community.
Its busiest street, Fair Oaks Avenue was an important link in the original Route 66 and remains a vital thoroughfare today. A Gold Line station provides a light rail connection to downtown Los Angeles and the regional transportation system. Mission Street and its vicinity are dotted by fine restaurants, downtown lofts, and unique shops. The city also is home to its own beautiful library, located inside a picturesque park.
South Pasadena continues to honor its traditions by conducting its own long-running 4th of July Parade, known as the Festival of Balloons. Residents also craft the city's own float for the New Year's Tournament of Roses Parade, held annually few miles north. Like so many other local activities, these events are coordinated by a cohesive assortment of City staff teamed with volunteers from the many vibrant clubs and organizations. While respecting its illustrious past, the City of South Pasadena looks forward to shaping its future.
