Welcome to Arcadia

Chic rustic living in the heart of the Valley of the Sun

In striking contrast to the surrounding desert flora, the lush landscape of Arcadia sprawls across the northern border of the Arizona Canal just south of Camelback Road. Once occupied by citrus farmers, leafy groves of lemons, oranges, and grapefruits generously line the neighborhood’s well-paved streets.

Developed as a city in the 1950s, much of Arcadia is dotted with upscale ranch, Revival, and Pueblo homes situated on large lots. The neighborhood is conveniently walkable, and several of Phoenix’s cycling groups pedal through here regularly.

What to Love

  • Unmatched location with a neighborhood feel and a short drive to downtown Phoenix
  • Expertly irrigated tracts and generous parcels 
  • Quality schools
  • Fragrant citrus bushes fill the winds with a crisp aroma
