Quiet residential neighborhood just outside of Boston
Those looking for a tranquil setting in the town of Arlington will find an apt match in Arlington Heights. The area offers a quieter, more heavily residential setting than its sister neighborhood to the east, Arlington Center. Arlington Heights is a part of town that people love, says area Realtor Julie Gibson, of Julie Gibson Homes. While commutes to the restaurants and other attractions in the core of Arlington, along Massachusetts Avenue, aren’t as easy from Arlington Heights as they are from Arlington Center, “the tradeoff is you get a nice yard, you get a little bit more square footage for your house,” Gibson says. “It definitely feels a little bit more suburban than urban,” Gibson says of Arlington Heights.

Mid-20th-century styles along hilly blocks
Many of Arlington Heights’ residential corridors are organized in grid fashion, and most are lined with smooth sidewalks, enhancing walkability. Hilly blocks are flanked by deciduous trees, adding to the suburban ambiance. Colonials, cape cods and Victorians are a few of the predominant home styles in the neighborhood. Houses in Arlington Heights were mostly built across a timeline that encompasses the early-to-mid-20th-century, and they are primarily single-family layouts. Homes tend to stay on the market for about three weeks and typically sell for between $725,000 to $1.3 million.

High grades for Arlington Public Schools
Arlington’s schools add to the area’s appeal, each earning an A grade from Niche. Kids may start at Brackett Elementary School before transitioning to Ottoson Middle School. Arlington High School, in the middle of Arlington Center, recently underwent a $291 million rebuilding project, adding enhancements like larger classrooms, a larger gym and a 900-seat auditorium.

Several outdoor attractions like Mount Gilboa and Hill’s Hill
Hop on the 10-mile Minuteman Bikeway from Massachusetts Avenue for a ride through town. The scenic path, lined with lush greenery, connects to the Summer Street Complex, a neighborhood green space with athletic fields and what’s called Hill’s Hill, a multi-acre woodland area that is open for exploration. “A lot of people go there,” Gibson says. For more outdoor fun, head to Mount Gilboa, which comprises a 10-acre wooded expanse with a trail that leads to a peak from which residents can glean views of the town below. Skyline Park in the southeastern corner of the neighborhood — also known as Robbins Farm Park — is known for its views, too, of the Boston skyline.

Popular local restaurants close by
Arlington Heights may be a couple of miles away from the dense collection of eateries within Downtown Arlington, but it has its own dining landmark in the form of Jimmy’s Steer House, which sits on the portion of Massachusetts Avenue that runs through the neighborhood. Jimmy’s is a place that people seek out when they’re in Arlington — “Old-time staple, everyone loves it,” Gibson says. The Kansas City Prime Rib, slow-roasted for at least five hours, is a signature at Jimmy’s.

Porchfest brings the community together
One of the annual events in the Town of Arlington that spills over into Arlington Heights is Porchfest, in June. Porchfest is a musical bonanza wherein area homeowners can host musicians right on their front porches, creating an extended block party of sorts, with performances from midday to early evening. Porchfest is an example of the general fabric of Arlington, too — a pleasant DNA that Arlington Heights absorbs. “I think we just have this really welcoming vibe, where there’s a strong emphasis on celebrating diversity, celebrating individually,” Gibson says of the area.
