About this property

Bungalow Heaven is a neighborhood in Pasadena, California, named for the more than 800 small craftsman homes built there from 1900 to 1930, most of which still stand. Much of the area became a landmark district in 1989 and annual historic home tours have been conducted in Bungalow Heaven every year since then. The rough borders of the landmark district are Washington Boulevard to the north, Orange Grove Boulevard to the south, Mentor Avenue to the west, and N. Chester Avenue to the east. The entire neighborhood is typically extended to Lake Avenue to the west and Hill Avenue to the east. All commercial development lies just outside the landmark area, on Lake Avenue and Washington Boulevard. McDonald Park is at the center of the neighborhood. Bungalow Heaven is served by Longfellow and Jefferson Elementary Schools, Eliot Middle School, and Pasadena High School. Bungalow Heaven is served by Metro Local lines 256 and 662, as well as Pasadena Transit routes 20, 31, and 32. Bungalow court, a style of multi-family housing developed in Pasadena in the 1910s
