Arcadia
Arcadia is a charming residential city that was originally part of an enormous land grant given to the San Gabriel Mission by the King of Spain over 100 years ago. Today, Arcadia has become one of Southern Californias' favored residential communities as well as a premiere shopping area in the San Gabriel Valley. Spend a quiet afternoon strolling through the Los Angeles Arboretum where you can get up close and personal with beautiful peacocks as they roam freely about or have a family picnic in one of Arcadia's luscious green parks. Perhaps you prefer a day of shopping at Santa Anita Fashion Park or an exciting afternoon of thoroughbred racing.
Whatever your interests, rest assured Arcadia is not only a city for shopping and gardens but a place where you will find fine schools for your children. Home prices in Arcadia range from $150,000 - $4,000,000.
