Known as the "City of Trees," South Pasadena offers apartments for rent in a charming 3.4-square-mile community nestled between Pasadena and Los Angeles. This historic city is the oldest self-builder of floats in the Tournament of Roses Parade, showcasing its deep community roots and small-town character. Apartment communities and single-family rental homes complement the tree-lined streets that have made South Pasadena a sought-after filming location for movies and television shows.

Renters appreciate South Pasadena for its walkable neighborhoods and distinctive shopping districts. The Mission West area, part of the original Route 66, features local merchants and the Rialto Theater, while the weekly Farmers' Market brings residents together year-round. With average rent for a one-bedroom apartment at $1,865, South Pasadena provides convenient access to the Metro A Line station in downtown.

The Arroyo Seco offers walking and hiking trails, while five city parks provide recreation space throughout the community. Commuters have multiple transportation options, including the Arroyo Seco Parkway and public transit connections to Los Angeles and surrounding areas. South Pasadena combines historic charm with modern convenience just minutes from downtown Los Angeles.
