About this House

The Washington Courtyard Apartments present a well-maintained, 9-unit garden-style property comprised of a two-story building constructed in 1961, featuring a pitched composition shingle roof and slab foundation. The property offers both gated entry and parking, with a total of nine spaces including eight detached carports and one tuck-under space. Situated on a 15,442 SF lot, the property encompasses approximately 8,406 SF with a unit mix of five 2-bedroom/1-bath units, three townhouse-style 2-bedroom/1.5-bath units, and one 3-bedroom/1-bath unit (originally a 2-bedroom unit converted without permits).

The property has benefited from extensive capital improvements, including copper re-piping of all units in 2020 and comprehensive sewer line upgrades with Perma-Liner technology. Interior upgrades across units include vinyl flooring, stone kitchen countertops, updated appliances, recessed lighting, modern fixtures, ceiling fans, and select mirrored closet doors, with units 3, 6, and 8 featuring fully renovated kitchens with new cabinetry. Additional improvements include the replacement of 56% of windows and 60% of sliding doors with vinyl in 2021, upgraded electrical sub-panels and main panels, and recently installed tankless water heaters (2026).

Residents benefit from individually metered gas and electricity, central heating in all units, and a mix of wall A/C units and mini-splits, with one unit featuring full central HVAC. The property also includes an on-site laundry facility with owned machines. Exterior upgrades include a replaced second-floor walkway decking and railing baseplates (2018), as well as a newly replaced carport roof (2025). The main building roof, approximately 20 years old, has been consistently maintained.

The property is subject to Pasadena’s Measure H rent control ordinance and has completed its SB 721 inspection, with only minor maintenance recommended, which will be completed by the seller—making this a turnkey investment opportunity with strong in-place improvements and long-term upside potential.

    "We live on Glen Ave which is a quiet street with really good neighbors all around. It's much more attractive and well kept than South of Washington or immediately North of Woodbury, although North of Woodbury has been gentrifying extremely rapidly especially since Covid started. There are quite a few churches and a Buddhist temple. This area is very convenient with really awesome supermarkets like Super King and Vallarta that have much better produce options than Vons or Pavilions, which are also nearby. It's extremely quick to get to Trader Joe's as well. You can easily access outdoor and water activities at the Rose Bowl, the arroyo, or Descanso Gardens and there is a 24 hour fitness at Woodbury & Lincoln if you want to stay indoors. The kids from the high school walk home through the neighborhood but they generally behave themselves and it hasn't been a problem. Street parking is easy but guests parking overnight in Pasadena need a $5 permit that you get from a kiosk at the fire station on Fair Oaks."

    "Well I live in upper Altadena, but i used to live down on w mountain and I liked it there. I mean other than the “landlord” there (she’s long gone btw) , and there was the occasional parties that personally didn’t bug me but I know how it can be. But anyway Altadena is really cool and mostly quiet. And ever now and then you’ll see a couple of horseback riders which I love and I’d say that sorta unique."
