Pasadena CA - Casa Pasadena Condominiums 1127 East Del Mar Blvd


Casa Pasadena - 1127 East Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena


Located in a very popular Pasadena neighborhood just north of the Caltech(California Institute of Technology) you will find Casa Pasadena at 1127 East Del Mar Boulevard.  Situated at the northeast corner of Wilson and Del Mar, the 107 condominiums at Casa Pasadena were built in 1967 as apartments and then converted to condos.   


The spacious residences include one or two bedrooms with up to two baths.   Each condominium has a large patio or balcony enhancing the indoor-outdoor appeal of these spacious units.   Two bedroom units have fireplaces.   

Casa Pasadena consists of four buildings on lushly landscaped grounds with a recreation room, pool and spa.   Parking is in a subterranean parking garage accessed off Blanche Street.   Laundry facilities are quite convenient with a washer-dryer on each floor of the four three story buildings.

Interesting(at least to me) tid-bit: trying to find a unit within Casa Pasadena can be a bit of challenge to the uninitiated - you see the units are identified as building 1, 2, 3 or 4, the second number would be the floor where the unit is located and the last number identifies it's position in the building -- so unit 123 would be building one, second floor and number 3 in that building -- confused -- when you want to buy or sell a home in Casa Pasadena - I can guide you through the building and the real estate process(plug - plug)

In addition to Caltech, Casa Pasadena is also convenient to Pasadena City College, Fuller School of Theology, Le Cordon Blue Cooking School and the Art Center College of Design.   Transportation outside of Pasadena is easily accessible by multiple freeways and the Gold Line light rail system at Lake Avenue.   Located just east of Lake Avenue, Casa Pasadena is close to many shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural venues which make Pasadena an enjoyable place to visit, work and live.

There is one condominium for sale in Casa Pasadena - unit 123 coincidentally - it is a one bedroom unit with approximately 844 square feet and available for $289,999.   There is also a one bedroom lease with approximately 798 square feet available for $1450 per month.   Two one bedroom condos are in escrow.  Each is a short sale listing and were priced at $247,200 and $249,900.   There have been two sales in 2012 year-to-date according to our local multiple listing service reports.   A two bedroom/two bath condo with approximately 1363 square feet on the top floor sold for $350,000 in an all cash transaction in March.   A one bedroom unit closed escrow in May for $280,000.

During 2011, there were four sales according to our multiple listing service - three were two bedroom condos.    They ranged in price from $255,000 to $419,800.   The average sales price for the two bedroom units was $368,267(median $350,000).  In the two bedroom category, the three sales were evenly divided for standard/equity sale, short sale and bank owned.

Michael-Sounds like quite a few of your condos were changed over to condos from apts. I think maybe because condos are seen as upper class vs an apt but also you can buy a condo and can only rent an apt so I think money played a big factor in the change

Casa Pasadena Condominiums for sale looks like another great example of Pasadena CA condos for sale.

Sharon - I believe the lack of inventory back in the 1980s spurred the conversion of many of Pasadena's apartments into condos.  It will be interesting to see if this occurs again as our inventory levels are low while interest in purchasing remains high as evidenced by the multiple offers and sales above list price we are seeing....time will tell.  

Morgan  - the location just north of Caltech and west of Pasadena City College as well as all of the other points of interest make Casa Pasadena an option for those who desire a close-in condominium.

Michael I have noticed a few Complexes in the San Fernando Valley & in Culver City that have confusing numbers, so it is really hard for the Geographically Challenged people:)))

Hi Endre - I have found the confusing number phenomena in some larger complexes -- like a maze.   That's one of the reasons I find previewing condos is so important before showing to clients whenever possible -- first finding the right lockbox(listing agents - please identify and HOA please monitor their usage after a property has closed) and then finding the unit.   if a complex has lots of features -- it may take an additional visit after a buyer has given the unit a thumbs-up  so you can see the gym, screening room, cafe, library or fill-in-the-feature.

How could one ever chose a condominium complex in Pasadena or the San Gabriel Valley?  There are so many great ones!  Oh, they call Michael Jacobs who likely has them all on a spreadsheet and can take you to the ones of your dreams.

Hi Suzanne -- depending on the location, amenities, size and price range desired -- you're right there are opportunities in condos, townhomes, lofts and single family homes in Pasadena and the SGV(San Gabriel Valley).  Inventory of homes available for sale remains low but I try to keep posted on the latest on the changes(which are constant) in our market.

Buying a condo is an excellent choice for professionals who have travel schedules or work schedules that make it difficult to keep up with exterior maintenance.
