Arcadia
Arcadia, a gem nestled between Phoenix and Scottsdale, is where life is lived on a grand scale.
Arcadia, a gem nestled between Phoenix and Scottsdale, is where life is lived on a grand scale. This upscale neighborhood blends the best of Arizona's natural beauty with a sense of timeless charm. Known for its lush greenery, Arcadia owes its verdant landscape to the Arizona Canal, which runs right through the area, nourishing manicured lawns and mature citrus groves planted by visionary farmers in the early 1900s. These groves, combined with sprawling historic ranch-style homes on expansive lots, create a picturesque and peaceful suburban escape.
The neighborhood is framed by the stunning Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak, part of the Phoenix Mountains. These iconic backdrops provide breathtaking sunsets almost every evening, a sight residents treasure year-round. The unique setting, with the canal on one side and mountains on the other, creates a serene, insulated oasis that stands out in the desert climate. Arcadia offers an eclectic mix of housing, from early 20th-century ranches to luxury estates, sleek modern homes, and stylish townhouses and condominiums.
Arcadia residents enjoy the best of both worlds: a tranquil, green retreat and quick access to the bustling city life of downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. The neighborhood's biking and walking paths along the canal, reminiscent of a charming river walk, are a favorite feature. These paths are lined with inviting restaurants, breweries, and vibrant community spaces, making Arcadia not just a place to live but a lifestyle to embrace. It's an unparalleled oasis where history, nature, and modern luxury come together.
