Properties in Pasadena come with many styles and characters.  That’s one of our city’s selling points and why many people visit Pasadena to purchase a home.  From Mid-Century Modern to California Bungalow, we have them all.  When it comes to condominiums, we got them all too.  On famous Orange Grove Boulevard, there are attractive condos offering expensive upgrades and features with living area measuring over 2,000 SF and more.  Basically, it’s like a single family home with HOA taking care of your property.

There are number of newer condo developments near Old Town Pasadena.  There are also historic and retro style condos such as the Barcelona Pasadena on Union Street, Livingstone Renovated Historic Condos on Los Robles Street, and Raymond Renaissance on Raymond Avenue.

During my showing appointments, I came across a wonderful Mediterranean-style condo that is suitable for a first time buyer seeking great price, urban style living and a desirable location.  First, the condo is priced attractively at $369,000.  That’s a fair price for a unit located in SE Pasadena neighborhood.  It’s around the corner from both Old Town and South Lake Shopping District.  Colleges?  Two great schools, PCC and Caltech, are within a mile.  Public transportation?  No problem.  You take the Metro Gold Line from Lake Avenue and Del Mar Stations.

This smart looking unit is located at 601 E. California Street (unit 204).  It’s two bedrooms, with two bathrooms, a nice size balcony, bright & airy living room and offers a spacious master suite.  I like this unit because it was very fresh looking and showed very well.  It shows pride of ownership.
