Arcadia, in East Phoenix, is one of my favorite Phoenix neighborhoods. In fact, I recently reported on my adventures the afternoon I spent on my roller blades, taking photos of the beautiful homes in Arcadia.
Once home to orange and grapefruit groves, the large irrigated lots are still dotted with some of those original citrus trees – offering a rural feel in an area just 15 minutes from the airport and downtown Scottsdale.
The streets are wide, and the abundance of luxury homes speaks of elegance and a comfortable lifestyle. Arcadia was first developed in the 1950’s, but many of those original homes have been replaced with large homes, offering extended covered patios, 5 or more bedrooms, and the finest in interior appointments.
Families with children seek out Arcadia for more than the multi-bedroom homes, however. The schools in this part of the Scottsdale School District are known for excellence.
As with all real estate, location counts, and Arcadia’s location couldn’t be better. Whether you enjoy browsing art galleries, viewing a new release at the Harkins 7-Plex theatre, fine dining, or shopping at the mall – you’re within minutes of indulging your favorite pastime.
Luxury homes in Arcadia start at about $495,000 and go all the way up to a 7,181 s.f home offered at $10,990,000.
However, you can still enjoy the location and atmosphere without the cost of a luxury home. A few of the original 1950’s ranch houses are still available in the low 200’s.
Arcadia is located in Phoenix zip codes 85018 and partly in Scottsdale in zip code 85251.
