Conveniently located family homes and Baltimore elementary schools
Located in Northwest Baltimore, Arlington’s early 1900s homes are comparatively larger than those in nearby neighborhoods and come with big, fenced backyards to match. The neighborhood also has easy access to two elementary schools – Arlington Elementary School and Pimlico Elementary Middle School. Located just south of the Pimlico Race Course, the area can get a little noisy during the famous Preakness Stakes, but mostly, Arlington is considered a slower-paced part of the greater Baltimore area. With the major thoroughfare of Reisterstown Road running through it, locals can get to several small businesses and big box stores with ease. Arlington’s CAP Index score is an overall 6 out of 10, which is higher than the national average of 4, and its score for homicide is 9 out of 10.
Arlington is located in Northwest Baltimore.

New England aesthetic residences and row houses
Many Arlington properties were built between the 1920s and 1950s. Traditional-style brick and wood-sided row houses dominate the neighborhood landscape, featuring compact front porches and small, inclined front yards. Single-family homes consist of Colonial-inspired and shotgun-style residences with simple designs, further giving the area a classic look. Though many homes have fallen into disrepair or have been abandoned, several are being renovated or updated to modern standards. Properties up for auction can range in price between $20,000 and $80,000, while move-in ready housing can range from $150,000 to $300,000.
Many of the homes in Arlington have porches.

Nearby programs and adventures at C.C. Jackson Recreation Center
Dedicated to the community in the 1970s, the C.C. Jackson Recreation Center was named for Clarence Channing Jackson Jr., a former Baltimore City Recreation and Parks district supervisor. Today, the center is a free resource for registered residents with an outdoor pool, indoor dance room, lounge, game room and fitness center. The playground outside has swings and monkey bars, and the multi-purpose sports fields can be used throughout the day. “The intent for any rec center is not just for recreation, but to provide community support, to help the community celebrate daily activities, provide family services, and just to help uplift the community,” says Darryl Sutton, Chief of Recreation and Aquatics for the City of Baltimore. The center recently held a phlebotomy class, and it puts together resume writing programs and job fairs. Families can also play at Arlington Elementary’s playground or hold a football game on the field at Jack Paulsen Park.

Baltimore City Public School programs and YMCA partnerships
Most students in Arlington will attend kindergarten through fifth grade at Arlington Elementary School, which is right in town. They can then attend Pimlico Elementary Middle School for sixth through eighth grade, which is about a 10-minute drive east to Cylburn. For ninth through twelfth, Baltimore allows students and parents to choose from a list of the area’s high schools.

The YMCA helps create opportunities for students to explore college options, attend guest lectures and to start looking for job internships or earn community service hours. All three schools are graded a C-minus on Niche.

Arlington’s inspiring community gardens and art pieces
Arlington Inspire Garden is the area’s little community space and greets visitors with its iconic stained-glass gateway. Local artist Mike Bowman, a backyard light artist with Formstone Castle Art, designed it. Partnering with Arlington Community Association President Bishop Troy Randall, he and Mike have helped to create the Arlington Inspire Garden Gate Sculpture and Arlington’s recently built Demeter Salad Garden, Khroma Herb Garden and Apollo Jazz Garden. “The Jazz Garden has a stage in it that has been used for community music nights. Farmer Chippy is well-regarded in the community; he’s an all-around hoot to talk to,” Bowman says. Farmer Chippy is a Northwest Baltimore celebrity and runs the non-profit Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm. “He’s been planting some greens in the Salad Garden already. In the Herb Garden, the flowers I made are based on Nigerian indigo, and so Farmer Chippy is planting indigo there.” Locals can find the gardens on Hayward Avenue and where Hayward meets Cuthbert and Denmore Avenues. “While doing this project, there’ve been so many people who come up to talk to you, and they’ll say, ‘Hey, put a park on my block!’” Bowman says. “Some people say that if you put something beautiful up in Baltimore, it’ll get ruined in five minutes, but that’s not true. In five years, the garden gate we put up at the Inspire Garden hasn’t been tampered with, hasn’t had one scratch. When you put something beautiful in a neighborhood that hasn’t had something beautiful in a while, they want it to stay.”

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.
