Its photo caption notes the neighborhood's location along the river and its classic 1950s architecture.
The broader Arden Village area also takes in the Gibson-Mariposa neighborhood near Baldwin Avenue and Valley Boulevard. The Element says Gibson-Mariposa mixes single-family and multiple-family homes and is closely surrounded by industrial land uses that predated and followed World War II.
