The East Side is a neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona. It contains some of the city's most upscale neighborhoods, largely due to its proximity to Scottsdale. The Biltmore area near 24th Street and Camelback Road has recently gained the attention of wealthier customers. Stretching east, several mid-rise offices and condos line what is known as the "Camelback Corridor". The area gets its name from the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. This Phoenix landmark has pampered guests since the 1920s. Its grounds and golf courses are surrounded by some of the most exclusive homes in the Valley.
East of the Biltmore area is the Arcadia neighborhood. Located at the base of Camelback Mountain, Arcadia contains well-kept homes on large lots. Built on former citrus groves, Arcadia is known for well-irrigated, mature landscaping. Several yards prominently feature orange, lemon and grapefruit trees as reminders of the area's past.
