Nestled near the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, Northeast Pasadena lies just three miles northeast of downtown Pasadena and 15 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Residents connect to other districts throughout the region using nearby I-290. Historic craftsman bungalows line the residential streets, especially in the Bungalow Heaven landmark district. A small commercial district resides along north Lake Avenue, providing residents with several markets and eateries.
Northeast Pasadena residents shop at local favorite Roma Market for Italian delicacies. Stop by after work to pick up homemade Italian sausage, pasta, and imported provolone cheese for dinner. The nearby downtown entertainment district serves as the frequent home of weekend events. Vintage enthusiasts browse the stalls of the Rose Bowl Flea Market in search of hidden treasures, while theater buffs fill the seats of the Boston Court Performing Arts Center.
