Arcadia

Approximately 54,000 Californians have flocked to this charter city just east of Los Angeles and call the city of Arcadia home.  Incorporated in the early 1900s (1903 to be exact) this city offers a “full service” government, including its own police and fire departments, library, and a City Council Manager form of government. 

Notorious for its beautiful neighborhoods and sense of community, Arcadia’s city council and its citizens come together to share one common goal:  Preserve as much “green space” as possible and work together to keep the community clean. 

Arcadia offers one of the most prestigious school districts in all of Southern California, offering a wide array of both public and private schools for all ages of children and teenagers. To give you a glance at just how prominent these schools are, take this into account:  Reading scores for the Arcadia Unified School District are 76.6% higher than the state average, and math scores are 67.9% higher than the state average.

The average income for households within Arcadia city limits is approximately $74,000.  The estimated average value for houses and condos within Arcadia’s boundaries is approximately $903,500.  With an average temperature of 75 degrees, affordable housing, wonderful schools, it's no wonder Arcadia has become such a hot commodity for Southern Californians.
