If fun is on the agenda, Arcadia's central valley location makes it simple for anyone to find entertainment.  For the nature lover, Camelback Mountain provides hikers with beautiful vistas.  For the avid golfer, Phoenician Golf Course, a private course on the rolling foothills of Camelback Mountain, is practically in the backyard.  Arcadia is also 5 minutes away from the well-rounded fashion and art cultural center of downtown Scottsdale.  In addition, just a 10-minute drive to the west is downtown Phoenix packed with alluring attractions such as Bank One Ballpark (Arizona Diamondbacks), the Herberger Theater, Symphony Hall, the Orpheum, America West Arena (Phoenix Suns), and the brand new Dodge Theater.  With so many options in close proximity, Arcadia is an attractive option for home buyers.
