The neighborhood is turn of the century and has been used to shoot many TV shows, movies and commercials. Our town has been labeled "Mayberry and Any Where USA or Hollywood's other back lot" by many because of the older homes and feel of the town and the industry constantly filming. Most of the homes are bungalows with their original character and we are right in the center of where there are many restaurants, bars & pub, yoga studio, coffee shops, post office, library, senior center, community center, the South Pasadena Farmer's Market, Mission Station Goldline Metro Stop, grocery stores and much more. During the holidays it is a perfect place for a family to stay while visiting their loved ones. It's also walking distance to over 30 Pokéstops for the Pokémon enthusiasts.
