For the first time in decades, five properties in the South Pasadena community are being sold to new owners to purchase and restore.
There are a lot of historic homes in South Pasadena that were going to be demolished to make way for the 710 Freeway extension, but that plan was scrapped a few years ago.
"The city is buying back those houses because they have been vacant for many years, and it's been left in a dilapidated state, which isn't good for the community, isn't good for the neighborhood," explained Eva Lin, a realtor in Pasadena. "So, this is a really good thing that they're doing." More than 400 homes were slated for demolition, which would have displaced thousands of residents. The plan was canceled in 2019.
The available properties include four single-family houses and one multi-family home with a bungalow. But because they're historic properties, they still have to be preserved.
