We who live in Arcadia have a good-humored saying to sum up our neighborhood: to live here, you must love dogs and wine. While there are certainly other indications of a life lived well, who can argue that the company of a good dog and a fine bottle of spirits aren't some of humanities greatest treasures? Our lovable dogs are symbolic of an earthy, friendly environment. Enjoying of a glass of wine with people who make us happy implies a joie de vivre. Do these things describe Arcadia? We definitely think so!
Arcadia is nestled between Scottsdale and Biltmore and is known for its older, charming, established homes and landscape with a proximity to a fun, urban lifestyle. "Older" in this case doesn't only mean grand, historic houses with sprawling yards, although those are one type of property you might find here. Arcadia also has houses that might better be described as retro: bungalows with a classy 1950's vibe; ranches with cool features from the 1970s; many have been remodeled with new, contemporary look and feel or anything in between. Buildings that once housed post offices or gas stations have been converted into unique and creative businesses. Lots here are generally larger than other neighborhoods and there are plenty of green spaces. Arcadia has a walkable character and residents enjoy numerous dog parks; parks; and proximity to fantastic bars, restaurants, and shops.
How would I describe the typical Arcadian? I probably couldn't! Our residents are diverse and span every age group and demographic. If the inhabitants of Arcadia have one thing in common, I'd have to say it would be this: they are the type of people who value the happiness of coming home everyday to a thriving, beautiful neighborhood. If this sounds like the type of place where you would like your find your dream home, I'd love to share my experiences in this wonderful part of Phoenix with you.
