The Madison Heights neighborhood in Pasadena was laid out in the late 1800's with some homes still remaining from that time period.

The original “Madison Avenue Heights” subdivision consisting of 63 lots was opened in July, 1906. Between 1910 and 1917, the neighborhood grew, and stylish single-family houses began cropping up along the gridded, residential streets, thanks to many notable architects who put roots down there, including Henry and Charles Greene, Arthur and Alfred Heineman and Wallace Neff. In the 1930s, Albert Einstein and his wife occupied a Saltbox home on South Oakland Avenue.

Today this central Pasadena neighborhood is home to residents who appreciate its historic architecture, its suburban charm and its convenient location close to shopping, dining and access to Downtown LA.

Madison Heights is bounded by E California Blvd on the North, S Marengo Ave to the west and S Lake Ave, El Molino Ave and S Los Robles Ave to the east and south.
