West Arlington is a rural area turned thriving suburban landscape
Originally farmland settled in the 1700s, West Arlington tells a long tale of growth. It was in the 1800s that the neighborhood developed from its rural roots into the suburban space it became, a situation solidified by the construction of the well-known water tower that still stands tall. While no longer in use, the West Arlington landmark serves as a reminder of how the neighborhood has flourished over the years.
The iconic water tower in West Arlington stands as a proud symbol of this Baltimore neighborhood.
Shoes dangling from power lines give West Arlington a playful and distinctive vibe.

Fully restored vintage homes and investment opportunities
Located 2 miles from the county border and 8 miles from downtown Baltimore, the neighborhood features a variety of detached homes in a suburban setting. Home styles range from colonial to Cape Cod, with no two houses appearing alike. With the neighborhood’s inception dating back to the 1890s, it comes as no surprise that architectural styles vary based on the phase of growth in which they were constructed. “They have different floor plans and architecture,” explains Marcia Midgett, an agent with The Agency Maryland. “The area typically has larger homes and larger row homes because when originally built, that was your sign of wealth.” House sizes range from 1,000 square feet to 4,000 square feet, and some homes incorporate unique elements like spires, dormer windows and bay windows.
Turnkey homes range from $220,000 to $275,000, though homes sold as-is offer a lower price point and opportunity for customization. “For some people, they might get a house that needs TLC and start revitalization and start that transition from eye sore,” says Midgett. “You can shine the diamond back up,” Midgett says. If building up sweat equity is a better fit, find homes in need of renovation for about $135,000 to $185,000.
