Description

Madison Luxury Apartments presents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained 34-unit apartment community in the heart of Pasadena, ideally positioned between the highly desirable Madison Heights and Playhouse Village neighborhoods. Offered for sale for the first time since its original construction, this trophy asset features an attractive mix of spacious one-bedroom/one-bathroom and two-bedroom/two-bathroom residences with private balconies or patios, semi-subterranean parking, and a rooftop recreation area showcasing panoramic views of Old Pasadena and the San Gabriel Mountains.

The property has benefited from significant capital improvements, including a new roof (2020), all-new copper plumbing (2018), a complete low-voltage electrical rewire, remodeled elevator, security camera system, and the installation of 17 electric vehicle charging stations. Residents also enjoy access to a shared laundry facility and a location that offers an exceptional blend of convenience, lifestyle, and connectivity.

Situated just minutes from Old Pasadena and the Shops on Lake Avenue, Madison Apartments places residents within walking distance of some of Pasadena’s premier dining, shopping, entertainment, and cultural destinations.

From an investment perspective, Madison Luxury Apartments offers both immediate income and long-term upside. The property currently generates strong in-place cash flow at a 5.6% cap rate, 7.4% with market rents, representing approximately 25% upside in rental income. Combining a premier Pasadena location, extensive recent upgrades, proven tenant appeal, and meaningful potential, the property represents an exceptional multifamily investment opportunity in one of Southern California’s most sought-after rental markets.

    "Even though people are good about picking up their dogs’ poo, not everyone is a responsible dog owner. I rarely ever see any leash-less dogs. However, some people claim their dogs are service dogs when they’re out of control. Most places here do not like big dogs in the complexes. "

    "This is an absolute amazing neighborhood! It is not the type where your neighbors stay inside all day and never come out, or the type who are always nosy. It is perfect! At night there is no parties going on until like 3:00 or anything! It is quiet and nice, in the morning the birds are tweeting and you see people walking their dogs, biking, or just jogging! I totally recommend this neighborhood!"
