    Cute town area to be in. The rose bowl parade is beautiful to walk during new years day. The town itself is cute and fun to walk around. Tons of shops, resturants, and desserts. Many of the resturants and ice cream shops are amazing 😋

    Old Pasadena, California is an amazing place to spend time, and the vibes are absolutely on point. The area has such a great energy—lively, charming, and full of character. The shops are fantastic, with a perfect mix of unique boutiques, well-known brands, and great places to explore at your own pace. Walking around feels fun and inviting, whether you’re shopping, grabbing a bite, or just enjoying the atmosphere. Old Pasadena is definitely a must-visit spot with something special around every corner. 🌿✨

    Great area to explore. There is a mix of open shops but several closed locations also. I love what they have going on here and the invitation for the community to walk around, shop and eat is so welcoming. I hope they continue to draw people to support the businesses here. I didnt see any live theatre close or live music but I would love to be there for either of those. If you are like me and crave a nice stroll while shopping and grabbing a bite to eat, this place has some potential! I would consider moving here in one of the many apartment communities in Old Town.

    Every place I go I love it early in the morning! The architecture here isn’t very relevant tru the main avenue tho there is a Miller Alley that so much worth ! Has nice things to walk around, close to this area please go visit the Mansions near the area have amazing green areas fountains and they are Historic ! With Ancient Trees I’ll add a video of that area !

    Visit Date: October 14, 2024 An enchanting historic district! Starting from the highway bridge, we strolled all the way to the Pasadena City Hall, enjoying the charm of this picturesque town along the way. Every alley we ventured into seemed to hold a delightful surprise. The beautiful surroundings, combined with a variety of shopping centers and boutique stores in the area, make this a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Los Angeles. Don’t miss out!
