Known as a cultural hive of arts and history, Pasadena's commercial Playhouse District serves its local residents with an urban decor against a backdrop of Manhattan sensibility. A small shopping center that also houses local office buildings, this tiny part of Pasadena represents a historical landmark uniquely separated from the rest of the city. Development projects continue to flourish under high-end properties that promise to make the Playhouse an even more lavish and elegant section of real estate.
The Playhouse District is located just south of I-210, between Old Town Pasadena to the west and South Pasadena to the south.

                            The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Thistle
We rented a one bedroom here and then rented one of the two bedroom units. Both units we rented were on the first floor. The property is very well maintained. All the common spaces are clean, well kept and comfortable. The units are clean, well maintained, and comfortable. The underground parking is spacious and there are always available spaces. The Bike Locker in the basement is secure and spacious. The extra storage units available in the basement are a real luxury and make small living much easier. I can't say enough about how responsive, caring, and professional the onsite management has been during our stay. We moved into the Thistle in April of 2021 and continue to live here now (Feb 2023) and are very happy with our choice.
