Arcadia
Arcadia is the answer to where Phoenix money goes when it grows up and gets a labrador. Ranch homes sit on irrigated lots under grapefruit trees, with Camelback Mountain looming like a permanent backdrop. The dining strip along 40th and Camelback (Postino, Buck and Rider, The Henry) packs out on weekday nights with a 30 to 45 crowd that already owns the house. Dating here skews settled and earnest: second-date wine bars, Sunday hikes up Echo Canyon, brunch as a competitive sport. Tradeoff: charming and walkable in pockets, but the median home tops 1.5 million, and singles density skews thinner than Old Town.
