The Arroyo Seco Offers Numerous Real Estate Options

By:

When discussing areas of northeastern Los Angeles often one hears of the Arroyo Seco. To a native Angelino it’s a common name, but the reality is very few native California know what it is. Is it a mountain, a forest of trees? Most know it is not a city, so just what is it? The Arroyo Seco is a great long canyon that extends from the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains north of Pasadena, southward along the western edge of South Pasadena. It skirts the Garvanza district, and continues south through Highland Park until it joins the Los Angeles River not far from Elysian Park.

The Arroyo Seco, as with other parts of the City of Pasadena, are sitting within a great gorge which has been formed by the depositions of eroded bedrock that has washed out of the San Gabriel Mountains for thousands of years and then deposited by various streams and brooks. Significant portions of the Arroyo Seco watershed are protected open space, ranging from the National Forest to golf courses to passive nature parks. There is almost a continuous stretch of open space in the Arroyo Seco from the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains to its confluence with the Los Angeles River.

Years ago, written into the glorious history of Pasadena, the Arroyo Seco was a peaceful and quiet little village dotted with orchards of walnuts, olives and a mix of citrus trees, and a few spectacular homes sprinkled about. In recent years due to its magnificent scenery, balmy & warm climate, and it's lush green natural landscaping and natural meandering trails, the Arroyo Seco has become quite a favorite hot spot of the locals and tourists alike for hiking, fishing, hunting, and various other recreational activities. The Arroyo Seco is home to the famous Rose Bowl, Brookside Golf Course and other recreational facilities, and one of the most popular and heavily visited areas of Los Angeles. Basically Arroyo Seco encompasses many communities and surrounding hills, canyons and some of the finest real estate located in Southern California, including Pasadena and its closest neighbors.
