Arcadia is the rich Alhambra. At least that's how my friends and I see it. It is predominantly Asian (American or new money from China) with sprinkles of Latinos, whites, and blacks. Overall, it is a nice city with nice parks and trails. There is a good-sized mall and the Arboretum. Schools are great. People here can seem a bit entitled. It is expensive to live here but I think it is worth it. There are a ton of good Asian restaurants and boba shops. When I lived in the SGV, Arcadia would be my dominant hangout area since it feels safe and has access to many things to do. Also, Peacocks! I would hear them all the time when I lived here. I would definitely raise my kids here.
It's a fairly quiet city, but there's always things to do if you love going out. There's a nearby Arboretum, a large shopping mall center, and lots of restaurants, bakeries, and stores around the area. There are also several parks in the city with tennis courts, pickleball courts, swimming pools, fields, etc. It's mostly safe, and I usually feel comfortable walking outside at night, though there has been a recent rise in theft crimes. The AUSD district is also highly rated and provided a good experience for me.
Arcadia is a great city to live in! The trees surrounding the neighborhood areas make for a great walk in the afternoon. You can ride bikes down the streets or simply take a drive to the nearest starbucks. The possibilities are endless in Arcadia!
