Welcome to
The Oaks of Pasadena!
“Not just to live, but to enjoy living.”
The Oaks of Pasadena opened its doors in 1981. Since then, we have provided unsurpassed service and amenities for adults age 55 and older who enjoy independent senior living in Pasadena. The Oaks features 86 well-equipped, spacious apartments ranging from studio to one- and two-bedroom units. We also have a separate assisted living home called The Retreat. Both facilities are located on our beautiful 27-acre property that includes an arboretum, gardens, swimming pool and paved walking paths.


Welcome to July at The Oaks of Pasadena!
We continue celebrating our 45th year of serving the Pasadena senior community with a Great Gatsby-themed event on July 22 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Get ready for an unforgettable evening with hors d’oeuvres, live music and champagne!
