Pasadena Homes for Sale Over $1 Million
Pasadena above $1 million is a market of older homes with character: Craftsman bungalows, Spanish revival houses and mid-century ranches, many on tree-lined streets near the San Gabriel Mountains.
Where to Look
Bungalow Heaven is a city landmark district known for Craftsman homes. Madison Heights and Oak Knoll, near the Langham Huntington, offer larger older homes. Linda Vista and San Rafael sit on the west side above the Arroyo Seco and the Rose Bowl. Hastings Ranch in the northeast has many ranch-style homes near the foothills, and Prospect Park adds historic homes near Brookside Park.
What the Money Typically Buys
Near $1 million you will often find a smaller bungalow or a condo or townhome close to Old Pasadena or the Metro A Line. Higher in the range, the budget moves to larger lots, more bedrooms and restored historic homes. Many homes here were built before 1950, so original details like built-ins, wood floors and porches are common selling points. Ask about foundation work, sewer lines and any unpermitted additions. Lots near the foothills can be larger, while homes close to Old Pasadena or South Lake Avenue often trade lot size for walkability.
Historic Rules and Other Costs
Pasadena has landmark and historic districts where exterior changes can need city review, so ask before planning a remodel. Older homes may need updated systems, so a full inspection matters. Condos and townhomes carry HOA dues. Ask and verify these items before you commit.
Financing Notes
Depending on the price and your down payment, a home here may need a conforming, high-balance or jumbo loan. General information only; a licensed lender can tell you which applies.
