Located near the Bear Mountains, it has a peaceful and friendly small town atmosphere. About 56% of the houses, apartments, etc. in Arvin are occupied by their owners and not by the renters.

In 2007, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared Arvin as having the highest levels of smog among all other communities in the United States. Between 2004 and 2006, the city's ozone level, which is smog's primary component, exceeded the EPA's acceptable limits, on an average of 73 days per year. Unfortunately, Arvin became the victim of air pollution being dumped from bigger cities. This picturesque town surrounded by mountains, and full of vineyards and orange groves, suffered due to the emissions from nearby areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.
