Arden Road Walking Tour

Arden Road is a prestigious address in Pasadena and is at the northern edge of
the Oak Knoll district. Arden was relatively undeveloped until the 1920s when the majority of the gracious homes that line the street were built. A number of Pasadena’s best known and most highly respected architects designed homes here. Styles range from Craftsman to Mediterranean, English Tudor and Monterey Colonial, which were all popular in the 1920s and 30s. At the time most of these homes were built, Pasadena was the wealthiest community of its size in the country.
