Arcadia sits between Camelback Mountain and the Arizona Canal, built on former citrus groves, with large irrigated lots and mature trees. Original ranch homes are giving way to new custom estates, and new construction now lists above $20 million. In December 2023, Sam Fox opened The Global Ambassador at 44th Street and Camelback Road, a 141-room hotel with five restaurants, and it has become one of the neighborhood's anchors.
Many Arcadia buyers end up deciding between renovating an original ranch home and building or buying new. Clayton walks them through the tradeoffs of each.
