Surrey Ridge
1960s and ‘70s homes in Surrey Ridge
Surrey Ridge's homes are mainly split-level and Colonial Revival, built in the 1960s and ‘70s in a small development with curvilinear roads next to a community park. Sales of the single-family homes generally range from $450,000 to $700,000. When a house goes up for sale in this neighborhood, it’s usually off the market in about a week, making it a competitive neighborhood for buyers. A condo development on Arlington Heights Road has two-bedroom units priced between $200,000 and $300,000. Sidewalks are prominent along the neighborhoods, and the 3 CAP crime score, which is below the national average, makes it a good place for a neighborhood stroll.

Heritage Park and Busse Woods
Heritage Park, the park inside the neighborhood, has soccer fields, baseball diamonds and a public swimming pool. A sledding hill and ice rink means the park is active in any weather. The Arlington Heights Park District operates the nearby Arlington Lakes Golf Club and offers lessons for kids and adults. It’s a short drive south to explore the many miles of trails, elk pasture and protected land at Busse Woods Forest Preserve, totaling over 3,500 acres.

Two miles south of downtown Arlington Heights
With independent shops, restaurants and a performing arts theater, downtown Arlington Heights has many places to explore. The Metropolis Performing Arts Centre hosts concerts, comedy shows and professional theater productions. Big Shot Piano Bar & Restaurant is a live music venue that’s big on spirits and audience sing-alongs. Helping patrons celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and other milestones, The Eiffel Flower sells colorful floral arrangements and boutique shop gifts.Additional retail options on Golf Road
Dining in Arlington Heights can be like traveling to other parts of the world without leaving the neighborhood. “There’s a diverse collection of restaurants nearby,” LoSavio says. “From authentic Chinese to Eastern European, they’re all represented.” Asian Bistro focuses on spicy dishes from China's Szechuan province. Qulinarnia is a few miles east on Golf Road in neighboring Mount Prospect, specializing in Polish food. Retail overload is about 3 miles away at Woodfield Mall, with over 230 stores, in nearby Schaumburg. Jewel-Osco and Meijer are grocery stores that are both within a short drive.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
