Arcadia contains well-kept homes on large lots; these homes command relatively high property values. Built on former citrus groves, Arcadia is known for well-irrigated, mature landscaping. Yards prominently feature orange, lemon and grapefruit trees as reminders of the area's past; the area used to be occupied by citrus farmers from 1919 to the mid-1950s. After this period, the rest of Phoenix caught up with the farms and the area suburbanized with characteristic ranch homes on large lots. Arcadia High School serves and derives its name from the neighborhood. The neighborhood is also just south of Camelback Mountain.
