Downtown region built to maintain active lifestyle
Arlington is one of Snohomish County’s northernmost cities, representing the spirit of Arlington as the Old Town neighborhood since it holds its local businesses and events and is the hub for community mingling. Living in the Old Town neighborhood provides easy access to the most popular restaurants and parks for a sociable lifestyle. “It has the small town feel even though it’s growing,” says broker at Windermere Real Estate Ryan Nobach. “They have the Ferris wheel and ice skating during the winter. It's kind of interesting, but they’re very active in that city.” Locals are also near Highway 9, which travels through Snohomish County.
Come walk along Downtown Old Town Arlington and you'll find amazing shops and places to grab a bite.

Celebrate bald eagle's homecoming at Eagle Festival
Some of Arlington’s biggest celebrations occur at Haller Park. Frontier Days is the city’s Fourth of July celebration, having activities from sunrise to sunset. The mornings begin with a pancake breakfast followed by auctions, carnival games, and a parade. The festivities conclude with fireworks. Art in the Legion promotes the city’s creative artists with a weekend fair that features live music, food trucks, and vendors. The Arlington Farmers Market, held on Saturdays from May to September, is another location to find local craftwork in addition to grabbing fresh produce. The Eagle Festival is a two-day event commemorating the return of the Bald Eagle to the Stillaguamish River. Activities include a photo contest, a chainsaw carving show and a haiku contest.
21st century homes toward the Stillaguamish River
The urban neighborhood includes a mix of apartments, condos, townhouses and single-family houses. The area’s newest properties, built in the 2020s, are on the east side, closer to the river. These are often townhouses and condos priced from $460,000 to $555,000. Nobach noted how newer properties are on the way for the city. “There are a few developments downtown, but it’s much of those storefronts with apartments now,” he says. “There are plans for other developments with single-family development in the future.” Older properties date as far as the turn of the century. These are usually ramblers or cottage homes with smaller front lawns and a side driveway leading to a garage. These are priced from $350,000 to $810,000. Manufactured homes are also common in this area. Prices can range from $45,000 to $100,000.
