85018 Real Estate — Homes For Sale in 85018

There exists a place that is magical and the stuff that dreams are made of. It's called Arcadia! It's a part of Phoenix that has become very desirable and somewhat unattainable. Homes are mostly traditional and cottagey and what you'd expect in suburbia. Large ranch style homes were originally developed and many have been remodelled to modern day glory. Actually Arcadia has always been desirable because of its location which borders Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. It has easy access to the airport, great restaurants, shopping, great schools and freeways. It's also different esthetically from many parts of the valley in that it is greener and not desert-like. Over the past 10 years, there has been extensive redevelopment going on throughout the area. Since most of the homes sit on larger lots, razing homes and building larger more stately homes has been the most common direction of redevelopment. Homes in Arcadia can range from $700,000 (not updated and likely a tear down) to 1.5-2.5 million and beyond. If Arcadia is your thing and you really, really want it, then let's talk because there are great options for you. That said, there's "Arcadia-Lite" which offers similar proximity but lower prices. Call me and let's strategize. less
