Palma Viva is one of Arcadia's most charming hidden gems - a small, private enclave built among a historic date palm grove recreated by award-winning architects Mishkin and Briggs. Homes here are rarely offered for sale, with many owners holding for decades in this friendly community. The HOA is well managed and offers some of the lowest dues in the area, making ownership both affordable and low-maintenance. This property also offers outstanding potential as a seasonal home or rental. Palma Viva is one of the few Arcadia communities that allows short-term rentals, and its proximity to dining, shopping, hiking trails, and Sky Harbor Airport makes it a favorite among winter visitors. Located in the highly ranked Scottsdale Unified School District, this home offers not only excellent lifestyle amenities but also strong long-term value. Commuting is simple with quick access to SR-51, Loop 202, and Sky Harbor Airport, making this a perfect lock-and-leave residence. This home received a thoughtful refresh including new interior paint, a beautifully tiled shower with sliding glass door, updated flooring, and new landscaping. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting and desert inspired tiled countertops, blending charm with function. Enjoy the convenience of inside laundry with a stacked washer/dryer included. As a ground-floor end unit, it offers extra privacy and easy access - perfect for everyday living.
