Arcadia is famously known for its Santa Anita Park Racetrack and the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. Arcadia is also referred to as the “Community of Homes,” with over 57,000 residents that live amongst its beautiful neighborhoods and warm character.

Arcadia is a proud two times winner of “Best California City to Raise Children” by Business Week magazine.

Arcadia, CA Commercial Real Estate Market

In recent years, a blend of steady growth in the labor market, low interest rates, and minimal inflation have stimulated household spending and encouraged business investment throughout the region. Revenue from the Santa Anita Racetrack has long supported capital improvements for the City of Arcadia, resulting in the City having very little bonded indebtedness. Arcadia's economy is driven by wholesale trade, retail trade, manufacturing, health care and social assistance, arts, entertainment, and recreation.

The City of Arcadia has a thriving and successful regional shopping center in Westfield Santa Anita, and is lucky to have a diverse local economy with a mix of commercial, retail, office, service, and industrial properties. Add in world-famous Santa Anita Park Racetrack, a booming medical office sector with properties like the 612 Medical Center and Santa Anita Medical Plaza, and a Gold Line Light Rail connection to Pasadena and Downtown Los Angeles, and the City has an outstanding economic development platform with a great deal of room for growth.

Live Oak District presents a classic commercial corridor where older, established uses have mixed with new residential and commercial in-fill development as the area continues to evolve. The Arcadia Live Oak office submarket stretches along the southern border of the City and caters to commuters traveling along major thoroughfares Live Oak and Santa Anita Avenues.

Duarte Road and Foothill Boulevard are "fine grained" commercial districts with more of a residential feel, and effective and thriving service corridors. This corridor is located just north of the I-210 Freeway and along the major East-West thoroughfare of Foothill Boulevard. The charming commercial district abuts the beautiful hillside residential communities nestled against the San Gabriel Mountains.

Downtown District is Arcadia’s original heart of the city, with buildings dating back to the early-to-mid 20th century. The Downtown Arcadia office space caters mainly to medical offices.
