Pasadena, CA apartments for rent

When you think of Pasadena, it's likely that you've heard of it for the Rose Bowl football game or the annual Rose Parade held on New Year's Day. While these iconic New Year's Day events are undoubtedly highlights of the Pasadena calendar, there's so much more to know and love about this Southern Californian city. Its picturesque setting, pinned down immediately south of the Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains, means that there's plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, although if you're more of a city dweller, you'll find that Pasadena's array of attractions and close proximity to Downtown LA more than hits the spot.

An ethnically-diverse city with around 140,000 residents, Pasadena offers a wealth of opportunity. Almost 90 percent of the workforce earns their keep from white-collar jobs, particularly in the fields of maths and computing, although there are also a significant number of artists and designers who call it home. The average age here is just under 37 years, so newcomers in that age range can expect to find abundant opportunities to socialize with like-minded people.
