Arcadia is a small city with seemingly something for everyone.  It is the home of the Los Angeles Arboretum.  And the Santa Anita Racetrack.  And quiet streets lined with 1960s ranch style homes.  And brand new mansions sitting side-by-side with modest post World War II houses.  It also has a good-size shopping mall -- and plans to build a very large new shopping/entertainment/condo development, similar to L.A.'s The Grove. 

The city's population, according to the 2000 census, is 53,000 people.  The median household income is $56,000.  And 44% of the adults have a college education.   

Arcadia_California_home_north_of_freeway.JPG (88023 bytes) Arcadia extends both north and south of the 210 freeway about 10 minutes east of Pasadena.  To the north of the freeway are neighborhoods of very well-kept ranch homes.

 

Mansion_Arcadia_California.JPG (55249 bytes) Toward the south end of the city, new mansions are being built in a neighborhood of modest older homes.

 

Town_homes_Arcadia_California.JPG (63287 bytes) Along the broad boulevard of Huntington Drive and in adjacent neighborhoods are new and older condos, town houses and rental apartments.

 

Santa_Anita_Racetrack_Arcadia_California.JPG (82887 bytes) Lucky Baldwin was one of the first American owners of the land that is now Arcadia.  He struck it rich at the Comstock Mine and moved to Southern California.  The Santa Anita racetrack stems from Baldwin's passion for horse racing.  

Lucky Baldwin's home is still standing in the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia. To take an online preview tour on this website of the Arboretum and Baldwin's home, click here.
