Community Guide
Living in Pasadena, Texas
Pasadena sits on SH 225 between the Houston Ship Channel refineries and Beltway 8, and it holds some of the oldest housing stock on this site — the median listing dates from the 1960s. Red Bluff Terrace and Vince Heights lead the subdivision counts, and condos make up a noticeable share.
Get to know Pasadena
Welcome to Pasadena
Pasadena ISD serves the city, and San Jacinto College's central campus is here. Prices run well below the metro median, and new construction is rare.
This is subdivision-lot territory: most homes sit on conventional lots of well under a quarter acre. This is a resale market: new construction is rare, and the median home for sale dates from the 1960s. FEMA special flood hazard areas touch only a small share of the current listings. Prices, inventory and school data on this page are live from our MLS feed, not a quarterly snapshot.

The Pasadena real estate market
What the numbers mean
Not just numbers — what they tell you. Median price, how fast homes really sell, where prices are heading, and which neighborhoods are heating up. Live from our MLS feed, with Allen's plain-English read.
Pasadena is a seller-leaning market right now — about 3.5 months of inventory, yet roughly 42% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. The median home sells around $245,000, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 87 days.
Each figure is compared with the same period last year. Where last year's data isn't in our feed yet, you'll see "—".

Build a home search that excludes — or includes — the flood plain. Your call.
Flood zones affect your insurance cost, not whether a home is a bad buy — and we're the only site that lets you filter them right out of your search (or zero in on them). Two homes on the same street can sit in different zones; we show real exposure on every listing.
Search with the flood filterThe honest picture
We surface the real federal flood-claim history for any area you're considering — context, not scare tactics. Risk is very address-specific, and we walk through each home's exact exposure with you before you ever make an offer.

Neighborhoods & communities
Pasadena isn't one market
it's dozens
Pasadena spans 29+ active communities — each with its own pricing, amenities and feel. Search the list or explore the map — hover either one and the other lights up, with live numbers for that neighborhood.
Layered communities: in Pasadena, smaller neighborhoods often sit inside a larger master-planned community — so those homes pay two HOA fees, and the MLS lists both. Where footprints overlap on the map, click the same spot more than once to step through the stacked HOAs (smallest first).
29 of 29 communities
How this works: footprints are the convex hull of each community's listings over the last five years (active plus sold) — a denser, more representative outline from our own data, but still an approximation, not a surveyed HOA boundary. Numbers (active, pending, avg price, new-30d) are live from the AWS MLS feed for Pasadena, residential for-sale only. 29 communities with 3+ active listings shown.

One integrated system, not ten
