Pasadena new-home communities like Villas at the Ambassador Gardens are on the forefront of this trend, offering spacious condos with all the upscale features buyers are expecting and a walkable Old Town Pasadena location. But, unlike the sprawling single-family homes in the city that require extensive maintenance, these condos offer all the freedom to enjoy the famed shops, restaurants, and cultural outlets that are just footsteps away. Variety pointed out that Hurd previously owned a “13,500-plus-square-foot mansion on just over three manicured acres in one of Pasadena’s most prestigious neighborhoods.” For so many buyers like Hurd who want to live in the city without all the work required by a large property, new luxury condos in Old Town Pasadena are a dream.
“Pasadena is the type of place that people don’t like to leave,” said Patrice Quishenberry, Vice President of Sales for ETCO Homes. “So, it makes sense that so many buyers would be looking to swap their high-maintenance home for something just as luxurious and less time-intensive, and choosing new luxury condos in Pasadena like Villas at the Ambassador Gardens. We’ve also seen numerous buyers who are moving to Pasadena for the first time and love the idea of an upscale townhome they can just lock and leave. Between the location, which is walking distance to the shops, restaurants and nightlife of Colorado Boulevard, Norton Simon Museum and City Hall, and all the best of Old Town, the luxury amenities, and unexpected luxuries like an elevator and four-car garage in every unit, it’s not hard to see why these condos are being snapped up by Pasadena homebuyers.”
Luxury condos in Pasadena include gourmet kitchens with top-of-the-line amenities.
A new opportunity to call Pasadena home
Villas at the Ambassador Gardens is a new enclave of 18 upscale, tri-level townhomes and the first of two new luxury neighborhoods coming to Old Town Pasadena from luxury builder ETCO Homes; the upscale townhomes and flats of Terraces at The Ambassador Gardens are set to be introduced later next year.
Villas greets visitors with its detailed Mediterranean-style architecture and its historic, sumptuous grounds. It’s obvious from the first glance why this iconic landscape, with its wide lawn, lush gardens, meandering walkways, and soothing fountains and stream, epitomize Pasadena’s Millionaire’s Row.
