Traditional Arcadia real estate listings boast four to five bedrooms on a large lot full of citrus trees and palms. Most homes also have backyard pools and mature, well-kept landscaping. Often, agents and brokers will show buyers listings with guesthouses either attached to or just near the main home, making this neighborhood the perfect place for families. The green landscaping on these lots — nary a home has desert landscaping — helps to keep temperatures noticeably cooler in summer.
Traditional homes for sale in the Arcadia neighborhood is composed of ranch homes, so most are naturally one story; however, a few beautiful townhomes have sprouted up along Camelback Road and the Arizona canal close to Indian School Road. Whatever you seek, you’ll find it in Arcadia real estate.
Although primarily residential, some real estate is focused on our many visitors. The Phoenician and the Royal Palms Resort and Spa are rated among the top 100 hotels in North America, and welcome guests and locals alike with top dining and premier golf. In addition to the resorts, some of the city’s best dining can be found at La Grande Orange, the Original Pancake House, Postino’s, and The Vig. Grab a snack or a week’s worth of groceries at AJ’s Fine Foods on 44th Street and Camelback Road, where you’re likely to run into Arcadia property agents meeting clients over a cup of Joe. Then work off your meal at The Village, located right next door.
The Arizona canal offers a gorgeous retreat from city life, and Arizona Falls at Indian School Road between 56th and 58th Streets provides a backdrop for an amazing public art project. This 20-foot drop creates hydroelectric power for the community and beyond, as well as a great place for a picnic.
If art is your passion, plan a visit to the Shemer Arts Center, located on the corner of Camelback Road and Arcadia Drive. This big, beautiful old home was transformed into a gallery that includes a permanent collection, exhibits, art classes, and musical performances. Visitors will find both traditional and modern offerings for their art appreciation.
Arcadia real estate is in demand, and it will continue to offer a variety of options for brokers to share with buyers. If money is no object, consider buying a classic home and then rebuilding your dream residence among the orange trees and palms.
