Just east of downtown Phoenix and framed by the striking silhouette of Camelback Mountain lies Arcadia, a historic neighborhood that blends lush greenery, iconic citrus groves, and a welcoming, family-friendly ambiance. Originally developed on former citrus orchards, Arcadia stands out among Phoenix communities for its tree-lined streets, flourishing vegetation, and a distinct sense of place born from decades of local tradition. Whether you’re drawn to the area’s idyllic setting, the proximity to upscale dining and shopping in nearby Scottsdale, or the unmistakable charm of early 20th-century ranch-style homes, Arcadia offers a lifestyle like no other.
At Melissa Mae Design, we believe that exceptional interior design goes beyond matching palettes or shopping for trendy decor. It’s about channeling the essence of a place—its history, its scenery, and its evolving culture—and blending those elements seamlessly with your personal style and daily routines. In Arcadia, that means celebrating both the neighborhood’s storied past and its contemporary, forward- looking spirit. By thoughtfully integrating local influences—like the orchard heritage or the classic ranch feel—into your home’s design, we create spaces that resonate on a deeper level, amplifying each day’s comfort and inspiration.
