221 S Oak Knl Ave

This is a low-rise, single-story condominium complex built in 1988 in Pasadena’s Madison Heights district, composed primarily of two-bedroom units. Architecturally it favors a courtyard-style plan: gated entrances open to a planted atrium and paths that lead to individual residences. Units typically feature high ceilings, recessed lighting, crown moldings, hardwood or laminate floors, and sliding glass doors that connect living spaces to private balconies or wraparound patios with foothill or city-light views. Kitchens are commonly updated with granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, breakfast bars, pantries and built-in laundry; master suites often include walk-in closets and remodeled baths with stone or marble finishes. Shared building amenities emphasize outdoor communal space and convenience: a landscaped courtyard, swimming pool, elevator access, gated subterranean garage with two assigned side-by-side spaces and dedicated storage. Practical systems include trash chutes, wired data provisions and covered parking; exterior details are modest (lighting and rain gutters). Pet policies and full services vary by unit/HOA but the complex presents a secure, walkable base within easy walking distance of South Lake Avenue, Old Town Pasadena, Caltech, and regional transit, blending quiet courtyard living with immediate access to shopping, dining and cultural destinations.
