About Poppy Peak
Poppy Peak is a small hillside neighborhood in the southwest corner of Pasadena, in Annandale, bordering Eagle Rock and Highland Park. It was platted in 1924, but most of its homes went up in the 1940s and 1950s, and they read like a short course in Southern California modernism.
Its architects included Richard Neutra, Harwell Hamilton Harris, James Pulliam, and Buff, Straub & Hensman. The Poppy Peak Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, with 30 modernist homes counted as contributing, along Poppy Peak Drive, Kaweah Drive, Pleasant Way and Cresthaven Drive.
