About Historic
Highlands
Historic Highlands, located between Washington Boulevard and the Arroyo Seco, is a historic and residential Pasadena neighborhood with Craftsman bungalows and a leafy, hillside feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Washington Boulevard near Fair Oaks Avenue, where corner cafes, small markets, and longtime storefronts set a steady street rhythm. La Pintoresca Park anchors daily routines with courts, lawns, and shaded paths. The Gamble House and the Norton Simon Museum frame the area’s design-minded sensibility with landmark architecture and gallery-caliber collections. Side streets read as porch-lined and walkable, with mature trees and period details. Arroyo trails and Rose Bowl loops add an outdoors-forward counterpoint to the quiet blocks.
