Why Move to Arlington “You feel connected to the city and the events going on there, but it’s a place where you can have a yard and raise a family.”
The best of both worlds – small town and big city Safe, quiet, green neighborhoods. Great restaurants and coffee shops, a thriving arts scene, and public transportation that whisks you to the heart of Boston in 20 minutes. Sound too good to be true? Well, it isn’t. It’s all here in Arlington – part small town, part hip urban center. Arlington is a charming, historical town six miles from Boston that has evolved over the past few decades into a sought-after, cultured, inclusive community of young professionals and families. It retains a decidedly small-town feel with leafy yards, parks, and neighborhood schools, while offering the proximity of Boston and its numerous colleges, museums, concert halls / theatres, and nationally-ranked sports teams. You can attend Town Meeting and have a say in local government one night, and the next night meet local authors at the popular Arlington Author Salon at Kickstand Café, one of the five coffee shops in town.
Recreational and athletic opportunities abound! With 35 town-maintained parks and athletic fields, one of the highest hills in the Boston area (the 375-foot Park Circle Reservoir hill), and the Minuteman Bikeway running through town, it’s very easy to be active in Arlington. Sidewalks make walking easy in Arlington and you’re sure to meet your neighbors walking to the library in Arlington Center or to Starbucks for a cup of co ee on Saturday morning. Cyclists favor Arlington for its challenging hills, and many ride to work or connect to bus and subway at Alewife T Station in Cambridge. Arlington has its own skating rink with its popular Friday night free-skate. At Spy Pond, you can rent canoes or kayaks or watch the Arlington-Belmont Varsity Crew team practice. In winter, families head to the hill at Robbins Farm Park for some of the best sledding in the area (not to mention breath-taking views of the Boston skyline).
Community is the Key in Arlington! Residents range from young families to professional singles to the elderly, with cultures across the globe reflected in authentic cuisine along the main street, Massachusetts (known as “Mass.”) Ave. Volunteering is popular, and you’ll find your neighbors tending tomatoes at the local community gardens, helping clean up the playgrounds in the Spring, leading the local Brownie troop or coaching youth soccer, or dressing up like 18th century Minutemen to reenact the beginnings of the Revolutionary War on Patriot’s Day. Arlington prides itself on its local foodie scene, and the “flavor” of Arlington is reflected in destination restaurants and cafes run by top chefs, bakeries where you can buy homemade cookies, cakes or bagels, a weekly Farmers Market from June through October, as well as the convenience of grocery shopping at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, or Stop and Shop right in town.
