Arcadia Overview

Situated at the base of the scenic San Gabriel Mountains, Arcadia is a lush and thriving locale just a dozen or so miles from greater Los Angeles. Consistently earning kudos as a 'best place to raise your kids' in numerous respected national periodicals, Arcadia is an in-demand zip code that has much to offer those looking for the finer things in life.

What is the history of Arcadia?

The Santa Fe Railroad line of the 1800s helped establish Arcadia as a hub of hospitality, including gambling and nightlife, and by the early 1900s the city was home to stately mansions and an ever-growing local populace. Ranches and other agricultural focuses slowly gave way in the 1930s to a number of various industries, ranging from military advancements to horse racing. Post-World War II, the city flourished in the realm of real estate, and Arcadia rentals remain in high demand to this day.

How is the weather in Arcadia?

California is known for its glorious weather, and Arcadia is no exception. Snow is practically a myth, with winter temps still fairly pleasant. Summers are warm and sunny, with autmn and spring both equallt appealing.

How do I get around town?

While bus service is available, many living in Arcadia apartments choose to utilize the brand new Metro Lite Rail, which leads into greater Los Angeles and beyond. Car ownership is the norm in this bustling city, with bicycling also popular and taxis found with ease.

What is the Arcadia commute like?

The city proper is served by both Foothill Boulevard and Huntington Drive, with I-210 a major roadway for commuters. The interstate does, unsurprisingly, see its fair share of California traffic, and those commuting to the job market of larger LA will undoubtedly want to allow extra time on most days. Still, navigating the streets of Arcadia proper is typically a stress-free chore. The famed Route 66 also passes through Arcadia, bringing with it plenty of site-seeing fans.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'LA Times' acts as a major print news source in the city, with a handful of rotating regional arts and entertainment magazines also available. Broadcast television is found with ease, thanks to a bevvy of local affiliates, and radio is a likewise diverse affair. Hip-hop, modern rock, sporting talk and public broadcasting formats can all be found on the local airwaves, with some college radio and gospel options available as well.

Why live in Arcadia, CA?

While one could easily argue that anywhere in California would qualify as 'in-demand', Arcadia apartments are truly in a league of their own. Offering easy access to the excitement of Los Angeles as well as an envious combination of local shopping, dining and nightlife options, this highly-prized zip code is about as good as it gets when it comes to west coast living. 

What Arcadia landmarks should I see?

Film fans will easily recognize a number of local landmarks from screen gems such as 'Mission Impossible' and 'Step Brothers', while the Baldwin Mansion and gardens is truly a vision to behold, still standing proud since 1915. The Santa Anita Racetrack is also a great place for a visit, and literary fans will undoubtedly want to stop by the infamous hotel where Hunter S. Thompson penned his famous 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'.

What is there to do around Arcadia?

Wander amongst the famous peacocks at the LA County Botanical Gardens, reached with ease from an assortment of Arcadia apartments for rent, or shop for the latest designer trends at the Santa Anita Mall. The victorian splendor of the Queen Anne Cottages is on full display with tours daily, and the Arcadia School Performing Arts Center is home to an impressive curation of music and drama performances every season.

Any annual festivals or Arcadia events to know?

The annual Lantern Festival is adept at creating a magical ambiance, and the yearly Halloween Harvest offers up spooky fun, complete with costumes and pumpkin carving. The LA Food Fest is arguably the largest of its kind in the state, drawing huge crowds and mouth-watering treats for as far as the eye can see.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit Highway 101 for a scenic tour up the California coastline, or swing into San Francisco for the weekend, complete with wine tours and its famed clam chowder, both an easy drive from most Arcadia apartments. Las Vegas and its famous strip is also within reach for the truly adventurous, with California's famous Redwood Trees and other natural inspiration always an option.

Where is the best place to move in Arcadia?

From the high-end luxury of the north end to charming-yet-economic 2-bedroom units close to the lite rail station, apartments for rent in Arcadia are always in-demand. Start your search for your next great place to call home, and stop just California dreamin'!
