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.

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.
