Why you'd want to live in Arcadia

In history, Arcadia was home to the Greek gods and considered a place of pure, harmonious nature. Arcadia, Arizona lives up to the reputation as an upscale suburban neighborhood in Phoenix, located about 3 miles from Scottsdale and adjacent to the wealthy suburbs of Paradise Valley and Biltmore. Arcadia is known for having well-irrigated and mature landscaping on large lots, leftover from the citrus farmers that inhabited the area between 1919 and the mid-1950s. Many homes still have several orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees in the yard. Arcadia is also known for its up-and-coming shopping and dining district, with independent grills, bars, and boutiques at Camelback Village Center. One of the most picturesque and popular neighborhoods, Arcadia is often named the best place to live in Phoenix because it replaces the dirt and rocks seen around the rest of Phoenix with an abundance of green, healthy plants. Arcadia District offers easy access to the walking, running, and cycling trails at Camelback Mountain summit and the Arizona Canal Trail. Many people living in Arcadia say the easy access to outdoor activities and getting to watch the sunset over Camelback Mountain plays a role in the high quality of life they experience. via mentorsmoving.com
