Parkwood Condominiums is a low-rise single-story condominium community constructed in 1973 and made up primarily of two-bedroom units. The complex’s architecture favors mid-20th-century garden-style planning with shared courtyards, covered walkways and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor connections. Typical residences are single-level, open-plan two-bedroom layouts featuring elements like primary suites on the main level, eat-in kitchens, wet bars, recessed lighting, and balconies or private patios that extend living areas outdoors. Interiors show a mix of updated finishes—quartz or granite counters, newer engineered wood and tile floors, recessed lighting and built-in storage—alongside traditional touches such as separate dining rooms and sizeable closets. Onsite common areas center on a landscaped courtyard with mature plantings, a decorative Japanese-style bridge and koi pond that create a tranquil garden setting; exterior lighting enhances the evening ambiance. Practical building amenities include subterranean tandem parking with EV charging in some spaces, shared laundry facilities, additional storage lockers, elevator access to upper levels and HOA-covered services like earthquake and building insurance, hot water, trash and common-area maintenance. The property sits in Pasadena’s South Lake/Old Town corridor, within easy walking distance of Caltech, restaurants, shopping and public transit, offering a pedestrian-friendly, campus-adjacent lifestyle.
