Quick answer: No, It is not a neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Pasadena located in southeast Los Angeles County (north of downtown Los Angeles). Many people refer to Pasadena as part of "LA" but Pasadena is a municipality that has its own unique neighborhoods, has a defined residential character, and has estate-style homes. In terms of moving services... because of the fact that Pasadena operates as a separate municipality from the central city, there are different permitting issues, access issues/dimensions, and architectural configurations for moving within Pasadena vs. moving within Los Angeles county. People looking for movers to move in Pasadena will typically look for a moving company that specializes in hillside properties, Craftsman-style homes, established neighborhoods (not high-rise, high-density buildings found in the larger area of LA).
Location: Situated in the San Gabriel Valley at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains.
Access: Connected to Los Angeles via the Metro A Line (formerly Gold Line) light rail.
Distance: about 10–15 miles (16–18 km) northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
There are seven (7) primary zip codes in Pasadena: 91101, 91103, 91104, 91105, 91106, 91107 & 91125. Each of these code corresponds with a different type of neighborhood, from historic districts to estate & mixed-use commercial corridors throughout the city. When you're moving to Pasadena, having knowledge about the different zip codes will help you plan ahead of time for access, the layout of the neighborhood and your scheduling. If you're relocating from one hillside estate (91105) to downtown (91101), hiring Bystroff Movers who understand the different zones will help make your move easier.
Some may think there are two deadly sins associated with Los Angeles: intense traffic and deafening noise. However, many residents and Redditors know there is another way to get around town without all that madness: Pasadena! The “best of both worlds” option lies within this charming part of Los Angeles.

Looking for professional movers in Pasadena for estate, commercial or industrial move project?
From a moving point of view, moves in Pasadena are more detail-oriented than quick. Older homes may have narrow stairs or original finishes that need extra care, while estate places get help from staged loading and thoughtful placing when they get there. For white-glove movers such as Bystroff Moving, jobs in Pasadena mostly focus on keeping order, respecting building design, and keeping the feel of homes that make up the area's look.
Pasadena owes much of its charm to the natural environment. Streets are lined with trees, houses are close to hiking trails, and there are views toward the mountains that create residential developments seemingly calmer than the rest of Los Angeles. Larger estate properties come with mature landscaping, long driveways, and multi-structure layouts - naturally influencing how moves into them need to be planned and executed. Access consideration, preservation of historic interiors-and careful handling of custom furniture or artwork tends to be a common factor hereabouts.
Moves in Pasadena are rarely standard relocations, not for homes with curated interiors, custom-built furniture, vintage pieces, and artwork that require coordination beyond crating, packing and transport. It is a move working with interior designers ‒ or installers, or project managers where timing and sequencing are just as important as handling. Items come in phases, rooms set by design plan, material needing protection while other work is still going on inside the property.
Pasadena has a silent yet firm art and design scene that naturally impacts the way homes are set up and lived in.
Local art spaces such as Norton Simon Museum, Jack Rutberg Fine Arts, and the nearby The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens contribute to Pasadena’s strong connection to art, collecting, and design-oriented living.
✨ If your Pasadena move involves more than boxes - custom interiors, valueble art works, design timelines, or a carefully planned space - Bystroff Moving approaches relocation as part of the overall project, not just transportation. Speak with our team to plan a move that keeps your design vision intact from the first item packed to the final placement.

We had Bystroff team pack up all of our belongings, including a large amount of very fragile glassware, and transport it more than 1700 miles to our new home. Everything arrived intact, and in clearly labeled boxes so we knew what to unpack first and what to leave for later in the week. They were also very patient working through a last minute complication involving my old building's HOA, and we were able to get everything done on schedule and delivered on the morning of the target day. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic experience with Bystroff Moving for our move from San Francisco to Tahoe. From the initial consult call. On the day of the move, everyone on the team was professional and extremely efficient. The price we were quoted is what we paid, and there were no hidden surprises. We would strongly recommend Bystroff and will happily work with them again for our next move!

Very careful with furniture and incredibly efficient.
I would highly recommend them to anyone moving.
Their team helped us out in a clutch when previous movers had cancelled the same day! They wrapped up an earlier job and hustled on over for my family's job. We had so many boxes and a solid amount of furniture, including a soul cycle bike that had to be handled very delicately! It was like watching ninjas work. The move was pretty seamless thanks to Bystroff Moving.

They did a great job! I moved from the east bay down to SoCal. Even with some challenges they had, they figured it out and quickly solved the problem without any impact to my timing and no change in his moving quote. There is a good company standards and truly backs them up! No surprises and they were very accommodating to anything I needed their help with! Very happy with their services! And I have moved many times, hiring movers. This was by far my best experience.

They loaded all contents of our 2 storage units in the truck like a well oiled machined. It was like watching a game of Tetris. They literally used up all available space on the truck. I was always kept in the loop on their progress.
We hired Bystroff Moving Co and they were incredibly helpful, clear communication and diligent with our move. They wrapped everything and made sure to take care of our fragile furniture. We were so impressed! Anytime our friends move in the Bay Area we always recommend them.
