For sale at the Barcelona in Pasadena:
The Barcelona in Pasadena, located at 85 N. Madison Avenue in the vibrant Playhouse District, is a charming, historic condo community originally built in 1922–23 as Pasadena’s first co-operative apartment hotel. Now a 29-unit Spanish Baroque-style building, it features unique architectural details like original chandeliers, ornate tilework, French casement windows, and a vintage bird-cage elevator. The four-story low-rise offers studio and one-bedroom condos ranging from about 238 to 925 square feet, with many units retaining their high ceilings, hardwood floors, and period character alongside tasteful modern upgrades. Residents enjoy secure entry, a meeting room, shared laundry facilities, and off-site parking for an added fee. Though it lacks amenities like a pool or in-unit laundry, its unbeatable location near Old Pasadena, Paseo Colorado, the Gold Line, theaters, and cafes makes it a highly desirable spot. Condos here typically range from $400K to over $600K, and they tend to sell quickly due to the building’s unique character, walkable location, and limited availability.
