Arden-Arcade has grown from an agricultural hub into one of Sacramento County's leading commercial districts. The community as a whole is brimming with neighborhoods and bordered by freeways, shopping centers and outdoor recreation. Local business owner Stewart Spoto, who’s lived in the area for 40 years, says there are a lot of highly revered neighborhoods here with dining options. “Arden Park is one of the premier locations with wonderful little restaurants. But some areas are a bit more rural and quieter, perfect for someone who likes privacy like me.” Fairgrounds, recreation spots and the American River access nurture active lifestyles, and many of the city’s approximately 95,000 residents work in the local commercial sector or commute to downtown Sacramento about 9 miles west.
