Monterey Hills Google Map

Monterey Hills is a well hidden secret.  Set right next to Pasadena, and bordered by South Pasadena, Highland Park and El Sereno, most people living in Pasadena know nothing about this area unless theyre fortunate to drive through it by accident or have a friend that lives there.

If you take Pasadena Freeway, 110 and exit Via Marisol, take a right turn, past the stop light, you will head up a rolling hill which will take you through Monterey Hills.  Most complexes are on Via Marisol itself, with some on Via Arbolada and Via Colina.

The location is superb - conveniently located only 7 miles from downtown LA (freeway or streets), about 10 minutes from Old Town Pasadena and minutes away from 110, 101, 10, 134, 5 and 210 freeways.

Monterey Hills community consists of mainly condo and townhome complexes, although a couple of PUDs (Planned Unit Developments) have been built in the last several years.  Most of the units were built by J.D. Carley and Associates in the early to mid 1980s.

Monterey Hills is known to be home for professionals working in downtown LA, USC students, USC and Kaiser hospital staff.  It is pet friendly and even has a park for dogs.

Its truly a great place to live and wonderful for investment since rentals are always in demand in Monterey Hills.
