Since time immemorial the San Gabriel Mountains have towered over these lands. More than 3,000 years ago, an Indian tribe known as the Tongva lived at the foot of these mountains. Sheltered from the forces of nature and gifted with agriculture, the tribe was blessed. Since the 1800s this area has seen several change of hands. It wasn't until 1875 when Elias Jackson Baldwin purchased the place that the beginnings of Arcadia, California were set in motion.
Incorporated as a city in 1903, Arcadia's development and progress grew steadily. A few decades after its incorporation, the farms and chicken ranches which once dominated the area were replaced by homes. Now a lovely residential community, Arcadia, CA homes for sale are some of the most valuable assets one can invest in. At an average cost of $703,000, properties here are luxurious and in an enviable location.
Downtown Los Angeles is merely 21 miles southwest of Arcadia should its residents wish to take in the culture, nightlife, entertainment, and shopping there. However, within this community of splendid homes, there are enough things to do to keep one busy. Shopping at the Westfield Santa Anita mall, walking amidst nature as well as history in the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, or getting your heart pumping while watching an exhilarating race of thoroughbreds at Santa Anita Park.
Leaving its mark not only in the pages of history but also in popular culture, Arcadia was where most of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was written while the motion picture Seabiscuit was filmed at the Santa Anita Park.
Laying down your roots here is a choice you'll never regret. As over 50,000 of its residents will attest, Arcadia is a wonderful place to live.
