Arcadia (California)

Arcadia is a city in Los Angeles County in Southern California.

Get in
Arcadia is accessible by Interstate 210. There are three exits: Baldwin Avenue, Santa Anita Avenue, and Huntington Drive.

From Interstate 10, get off at Temple City Blvd. (Westbound), Baldwin Avenue (Eastbound), or Santa Anita Avenue and head north for about 4.5 miles. Alternatively, switch from the Interstate 10 to the 605 N, exit Live Oak Ave, and head north from there.

Get around
The easiest way to get around Arcadia is via private automobile, as it is a primarily residential suburb in the Los Angeles area. Metro, the transportation agency of Los Angeles County, and Foothill Transit, another public transportation agency, run bus routes on major roads, such as Santa Anita Ave., Duarte Rd., Baldwin Ave., and Huntington Dr., but the buses run infrequently (about an hour's wait between buses for most routes), especially on weekends and holidays. Metro also operates the Gold Line light rail service to west to Pasadena and Downtown L.A. and east to Asuza, which stops in Arcadia at 1st Avenue and Santa Clara Street.
