Arcadia
Phoenix, Arizona
Arcadia is a leafy, established enclave of irrigated lots where mature citrus trees shade mid-century ranch homes and Camelback Mountain frames the skyline. It's celebrated for a destination dining scene—LGO, Postino and more—and an unusually walkable, neighborly feel for Phoenix. Downtown is roughly 15 minutes away, yet the green, canopied streets feel worlds apart.
