I've had a lovely experience moving into Brookmore Apartments! The property manager and maintenance staff have been helpful and kind in my first few weeks here. Communication has been wonderful. I was unable to tour in person, but the virtual tour I got gave me a great idea of what living here is like. It is homey, fun, and so cute! I've gotten many compliments from sharing pictures of my place. Super quick walk to lots in Old Pas which is a plus, especially since walkability is so rare in SoCal. People are friendly and overall pretty quiet. Package delivery is easy and security measures are being

My time at the Brookemore was an absolute delight. I initially chose the Brookemore because of the proximity to Old Town and downtown Paseo- both walking distance from the apartments. I not only fell in love with the area but how I was treated by our property manager, Janette. She's hospitable, professional and accommodating. She made me feel at home every time I saw her, it was nice to see inspiring quotes and positive messages that she wrote on a chalkboard as you entered and exited the building. Not to mention, she always had a bright smile on her face. Thank you for making my time at

I love this place! Notable aspects include:
- The new management (as of January 2020) is amazing! I've never experienced better apartment management in my life; management is trustworthy, responsive, and truly and authentically caring for the community and all residents. Management is very intentional in creating a safe, welcoming, and caring community. And everything is maintained in tip-top shape. Older reviews online reflect the previous management. The turnaround on this place was very quick and is ongoing;
- Quaint and cozy (renovated 1920s hotel - which also means it is rent controlled

We have lived in the apartment for a year! Tony and Karen are both fantastic and go above and beyond when issues arise that are out of their control. While living there, some flooding happened due to someone clogging the gutter and also there was a gas issue which caused the gas company to have to work on it for about 5 days. Both of these issues could have happened anywhere however the response that we received for both instances were STELLAR. They really care about the people who live here and worked day and night to ensure everyone was taken care of and issues were resolved as quick as possible

I lived here 53yrs ago, while it was a hotel/apt! Loved the folding down Murphy bed, the kitchen,and most of all ,the bathroom window that faced Marengo St.As i looked out the window,soaking in bath tub beautiful Palm Tree and rays of sun curtained the window,,,on 2nd/3rd fl.Pure paradise ! Location was awesome, work, play, walking distant everywhere.
Good memory for me, as i was pregnant with our first child at the time.Relaxing experience.
Thanks for keeping Brookmore around!

I have lived in Brookmore for over a year and I cannot say enough great things about it.
The location cannot be beaten for the proximity to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The building is charming with a full restoration to its nearby centennial charm. The management is kind and very responsive and my neighbors are friendly, polite, and quiet.
I simply love calling this place “home”.

I love this place. Charming, clean, friendly apartment in Pasadena with great neighbors and managers. Has everything a person could need for semi luxurious pasadena living and it's right off Walnut and so close to old tone shops and restaurants. Brookmore is great vintage living u don't see very much anymore at this price.

I fell in love with this building the first time I drove by it. Since moving in 6 months ago I have found a warm and welcoming community, responsive and engaging management, and the exact urban feel I was hoping for. This is a beautifully restored historic piece of Old Town Pasadena. The location to the freeway and metro are ideal. Walking to the heart of old town takes 5 minutes. I am so grateful to be part of this community. And so is my doggie!

My wife and I lived at the Brookemore Apartments for 3 Years. We chose the location because of the proximity to Old Town. We truly enjoyed our residence there during that time. The apartments offer WiFi and parking included in the rent, as well as free coffee and breakfast on Fridays. We loved the style of the exposed brick in our unit.
Neighbors were all great people, seemed most of them were CalTech students. Management were quick, helpful, and responsive. If we didn't ended up moving back to the East Coast, we would likely still be living there.

I’ve lived in this building for almost 4 years. During my tenure, I’ve seen a vast improvement in the management of the building and fulfillment of tenants’ needs. We went from management that does not care to one that does.
Some of the positive changes I’ve seen include :
* “upgrading” the tenants and creating a better sense of community;
* significant improvement in the cleanliness of our surroundings and major physical upgrades;
* much improved management of maintenance tasks in a 1920’s building with its challenges; and
* a more professional and fair lease renewal process

I made the mistake of signing up for this place without really seeing it as I was in a time crunch - but it is one of the worst mistakes i made in my adult life. I live here, regret it and will absolutely move out of the place as soon as my lease is up!. I think there are 3 BIG positives for this place - one this place is really really close to downtown pasadena (literally city center), it is quaint and charming from the outside (brick building ),second the place is definitely dog friendly. These positives are absolutely negated by the following:-
- There is a LOT of homeless folks hanging around

If you cherish historic buildings you will love Brookmore! Brick walls inside your unit updated with luxury finishes, including a new kitchen with countertops and hardwood laminate floors, with a walk-in closet. With a simple touch of ascent colors on the wall.
I love it here so much! I am in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Right next door to Brookmore is Memorial Park, which I just learned has grass field audiences each weekend for summer long live music. I am also right next to the Metro Station to catch each morning to the Jewelry District.
I love coming home to Brookmore after a busy day

Lived in 223 (1 bedroom, 850/mo) with my partner 2001-2003 2.5 years. The only reason I moved out was to relocate, which I regretted. The place was funkier then, not sure I'm a fan of the upgrades but the brown office carpet in the common areas was hideous. We had the same carpet in our place, we ripped it up and painted the wood floors a stunning deep grey. We braved the first summer with no a/c, bought a powerful window unit the 2nd summer. I understand all units have a/c now. We were a building of artists, recluses and weirdos. I think we were all 3. The building was pet friendly. We had

Lived here for a year. The one-bedroom apartments have extremely small living space, best suited for only one person.
The biggest complaint I have is that you have no choice but to pay $550 to have the place painted and cleaned upon move out. Our place had already been professionally cleaned, but they still took the money out of our security deposit.
Our apartment was less than 500 square feet.. the painting itself apparently cost $450 ...completely unreasonable and slimy.

When I lived at Brookmore we had a wonderful manger by the name of Kabin. After Kabin left and new managment came in (won't mention any names, but the person may have been reference in other reviews on yelp lol) the whole operation fell apart. Needless to say we moved out, or we were forced out by significant increases in our rent after our iinitial lease was expired. I hope this helps, good luck!!!

So last week i went to visit Brookmore Apartments for the second time and i was prepared to sign a lease for a studio apartment. I asked my sister to come along so that i could show her the place and get her feedback. So we decided to come in, and called Helen the manager of the building to ensure that it was ok. She was there and there didn't seem to be an issue.
Upon arrival Helen buzzed us in, and when we asked to see the place she refused to show us one that was being clean by the cleaning lady because as she claimed it would "scuff up the floors". Furthermore, she claimed

I'm not one to dwell on negative experiences but Brookmore has given me no choice to dwell because of the money they still owe me. this building is beautiful BUT the corporation that owns it is made up of the most foul people I've ever come across.
So I'm writing this in hopes of keeping people from being in a similar situation as mine rather than as revenge.
I walked through an apartment (still occupied at the time) and decided to put a deposit down on the apartment right away just to hold it

I lived at Brookmore, 4th floor facing North from Feb 2010 - Aug 2011. It was my first time living without roommates and the apartment I was in was super cozy and homey. I've never felt as safe as I did while living at Brookmore. It's directly across from the Pasadena Police headquarters, as well as city hall. You bump into a few stray people who are in-between situations of life, but I never felt unsafe.
Also key was the closeness to the metro (I worked downtown LA), Old Towne shops, and Paseo shopping area. Having a Target 15 minute walk away was also nice.
I'd give this place

This is an amazing building on so many different levels. To start off, the aesthetics of the building are amazing. If you are in the market for a charming retro-style apartment with all the benefits of modern living, this is your place. The units are cozy and efficient. Definitely not for a colony of people, but perfect for those of you just starting out, or looking for a more manageable place to live the best days of your life. Among other perks of the place, this building has an amazing plot right in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Also, management is thrilled to see new pets (unlike 99% of apartment

Great location, just on the outskirts of Old Town and only 1 block away from the Central Library.
I lived there from July 04 to July 05. The apartments are pricey, but were recently renovated which made that monthly rent check a little more tolerable. If I had the income to spare, I'd live there again.
My biggest complaint was the parking situation. Our parking garage was 3 blocks away and it wasn't exactly the safest feeling walk back from the garage at 2 A.M. Walk fast, carry a big stick.
