South Pasadena, like all our wonderful waterfront communities, South Pasadena is about 50 something years old. It is not a beachfront town, but never the less, surrounded by water.
With only 3 or 4 minutes to St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island, Pasadena has a unique location. Big waterfront condo communities like Harbourside and Bay Island call Pasadena their home. The DaVista neighborhood or Park street have that certain old time charm you simply cannot describe.
Altogether 6000 people live here, not a lot of tourists, but many snowbirds that own waterfront property. There are a lot of shops and restaurant and stores along Pasadena Ave and Central Ave. You can pretty much find whatever you want. I love to go to Starbucks and get my coffee, or have lunch at the “O” Bistro or an early dinner at Ted Peters Smoked fish house. The Hockey club is a great British restaurant and Leverocks is a good local fish place. I frequently shop at the Nature store which has a huge selection of natural and organic foods and long isles with vitamins and supplements. South Pasadena also has a bowling alley and a major plus is Palm of Pasadena, the local hospital that serves all the beach towns.


Real Estate prices start about $100,000. Just to give you an example, a 1 bedroom 1 bath nearly 1000 sf waterfront condo in Harborside is about $175,000
2 bedroom 2 bath wide open water view condo about 1200 square feet in Harbourside is somewhere around $350,000 give or take. There are also a few 55 plus communities in South Pasadena and prices there are much less. When was the last time you  had really good smoked fish? or have been to a romantic restaurant.
