Overview
What Is Scottsdale
Arcadia?
Scottsdale Arcadia is the eastern portion of the Arcadia neighborhood, east of 64th Street and within Scottsdale city limits. While most of Arcadia falls within Phoenix, this area carries the 85251 zip code and Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) school assignments, the combination that makes it among the most specifically targeted areas in the entire Valley.
The lifestyle is identical to Arcadia Proper: generous lots, mature citrus trees, eclectic architecture, and walkable access to the Camelback corridor dining and shopping. The streets are leafy, the community character is strong, and the residential quality is consistent with the best of Arcadia.
The school district advantage is the defining differentiator. SUSD schools including those in the Arcadia cluster are consistently ranked among the highest rated public schools in Arizona. For families with school age children, Scottsdale Arcadia offers the rare combination of top tier public education and the Arcadia lifestyle without the price premium of north Scottsdale.
