Orange Grove Real Estate - Victorian Triumphant

This is one of the few Pasadena neighborhoods that can boast pre-1900 houses in quantity and good repair. Orange Grove was the prime residential street in town with large houses and even larger gardens, some stretching down to the Arroyo. As more new residents arrived from the East, Orange Grove addresses became scarce so new side streets were cut. Most of these estates are now garden apartments, but the side streets still have many turn- of-the-century houses. Built to recall former homes, the earliest were staunch and upright "Queen Anne" Victorians.
