Property values in the West San Gabriel Valley (Pasadena and surrounding areas) continue to climb, fueled by high home prices and relatively low unemployment, despite a down economy, according to a year's worth of data released by the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor. Arcadia's combined property value rose 4.4%, more than any city in the county. The strong resale value of luxury homes and the increased demand for new construction are the main factors that led to Arcadia's growth. Jeanne Keating, a realtor and president of the Arcadia Association of Realtors, says Arcadia's great schools, availability of luxury homes, a solid city government, and a stable community, all factor into Arcadia's $713,500 median home price.
