1 Reviews & Comments About Pasadena
Growing up it had a great small town feel. Now it is full of crime and drugs. My mother still lives there someone has broken in all of her cars and someone was shot at around the corner. It is not terrible 100% of the time but I left to raise my family in a better place.
Avoid the green haven area. There was also a lot of trouble around that area and from what I'm told it has only gotten worse.
