About South Pasadena
South Pasadena is a small, walkable city of about 26,000 wedged between Pasadena and Highland Park. It has preserved more of its early-century character than almost anywhere in the county, which is why film crews use it constantly as a stand-in for small-town America.
South Pasadena weather and what it does to your property
Sheltered inland valley climate with warm dry summers and mild wet winters. Around 20 inches of rain a year, concentrated December through March. Heavy street tree canopy keeps ambient temperatures a few degrees below surrounding areas and keeps shaded surfaces damp far longer.
Decorative and stamped surfaces
South Pasadena has an unusual concentration of stamped, coloured and exposed-aggregate concrete from mid-century remodels. Colour hardener sits only in the top layer. Too much pressure takes it off and leaves a patchy grey finish that cannot be restored.
Narrow driveways and tight access
Lots here are narrow and many driveways run the full depth of the property to a detached garage. That means more linear feet of edge work and hand finishing than the square footage suggests.
Continuous shade
The tree cover that keeps the streets cool also keeps hard surfaces damp. Shaded walkways here grow algae year round rather than seasonally, which is why they go slick faster than properties two miles east.
