San Marino, California Seal of the City of San Marino Location of San Marino, California County Los Angeles County, California Population  - Total ( 2000 ) 12, 945 Time zone - Summer ( DST ) PST ( UTC 8) PDT ( UTC 7) Location 34ﾰ72223N, 118ﾰ62473W (34.122658, -118.112964) GR1 Mayor Matthew Lin City Clerk Carol Robb City Manager Matt Ballantyne City website San Marino is a city in Los Angeles County , California , USA . In general, San Marino is a small, upper middle to upper class, well educated community largely populated by professionals and their families . The city is primarily known for its immaculately preserved housing stock, its strict zoning laws, and its schools. The city is divided into seven zones, based on minimum lot size. The smallest lot size is 9000 square feet, with many averaging over 30,000 square feet. Because of this and other factors, most of the homes in San Marino, built between 1920 and 1950, do not resemble the houses in surrounding Southern California neighborhoods (with the exception perhaps of neighboring Pasadena). San Marino has also fostered a sense of historic preservation among its homeowners. The city's strict zoning laws have thus far prevented the development of " McMansions ," found elsewhere in Los Angeles. Generally speaking, San Marino homes are older, bigger and more genteel than those in other communities. No apartment buildings exist in the city. To Southern Californians , San Marino has always stood for the oldest of old-money wealth and a bastion of Southern California 's WASP gentility. For years, San Marino's 91108 zip code was the wealthiest in Southern California. It is still the 14th wealthiest zip code in the United States. Recently, San Marino has seen an influx of Asians, mostly Chinese Americans . The average home price is now slightly less than the better-known Southern California communities of Beverly Hills , Bel Air and Santa Monica . San Marino may in fact be more recognizable to most Americans than those other Southern California communities, due to the prevalence of filming in the city. Many television shows, such as The Fresh Prince of Bel Air have actually been filmed in San Marino and Pasadena. Location scouts also turn to San Marino when they wish to film a series in Southern California that takes place elsewhere. The atypical housing stock in the city, including Georgian and faux antebellum mansions cause certain neighborhoods resemble the East Coast . San Marino is also regarded as having one of the best-performing schools in the Greater Los Angeles, California area. Its high school consistently ranks as the highest API score among public high schools in California. All of its public schools are distinguished as California "Blue Ribbon" schools. The city includes the estate of Henry E. Huntington , who made a fortune in the development of Southern California and opened the library and art collections in his large neo-Palladian mansion to the public in 1919, best known as the Huntington Library . At the time, San Marino was some twelve miles from Los Angeles. Huntington Drive and Sierra Madre Boulevard serve as the main thoroughfares, leading to Pasadena, Alhambra and San Gabriel. The Edwin Hubble House , residence of astronomer Edwin Hubble , is a National Historic Landmark . Another landmark is the Michael White Adobe House, located on the high school campus. In the middle of San Marino lies Lacy Park, a huge expanse of grass and trees rare for urban areas. Lacy Park was created when Lacy Lake was drained, and was modelled after New York's Central Park. The Old Mill, completed about 1816 as a grist mill for Mission San Gabriel, is in San Marino. The original two-story structure measured 53 by 26 feet. It is the oldest commercial building in Southern California.
