Directly up the hill from the Jardin is Atascadero, sometimes called “Los Arcos,” given that entering the neighborhood from town involves going through the arched gate of the original Atascadero Ranch.  Atascadero is a quietly sumptuous residential area that has slowly grown since the 1950s. As a result, there is a mix of architectural styles. Many homes have views of town and the valley, and the area is known for its mature vegetation and larger gardens.
