Welcome to Arlington, MA

Arlington has the rare distinction of being urban and suburban, hip and homey, and appealing to both families and singles. Apartment buildings and double-deckers sit down the street from neighborhoods of single-family homes. The town center is a haven for foodies. The Minuteman bike path takes bikers and joggers into Cambridge in one direction and out to Lexington and points northwest in the other. The town has beautiful parks, two with ponds and another with a stunning view of downtown. There are regular buses into Cambridge, and the Alewife Red Line MBTA station is just across the border in North Cambridge.
