Pasadena is the ninth-largest city in Los Angeles County- and the second oldest (incorporating in 1886). It is home to the Tournament of Roses, ArtCenter College of Design, Caltech, JPL, many museums and artists (including the author of this post!). It is nestled below the San Gabriel mountains on the northeast side of Los Angeles. It feels more like an east coast town with big houses on wide streets canopied with trees. It is about 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and thus provides a low-key, suburban hideaway without losing any of the flavor of city life.

Stunning art collection and gardens
The Gamble House is a National Historic landmark. It is a house built in the early 1900s, which exemplifies the American Arts and Crafts style of architecture. It is beautiful inside and out. Tours are offered so you can learn about the stunning details throughout the property. The best thing to do is Brown Bag Tuesdays. You can bring a picnic lunch and eat on the terrace. There is also a little bookstore for some souvenirs.
