A suburb first-time buyers return to
Every neighborhood has its distinct qualities, but Arlington Park is one of the few suburbs in America with publicly accessible walking paths tracing their way throughout. Not to be confused with sidewalks, which are rare here, these pedestrian-only paths parallel neighborhood streets in much the same way that an alley would. But recreational opportunities go far beyond walking paths in this neighborhood that sits 10 miles northeast of downtown Fort Wayne. “It’s such a fun neighborhood,” says Realtor Michelle Wyatt, a former resident of the neighborhood and Realtor with more than two decades of experience here. “My five kids grew up there, and they all own houses in the neighborhood now. It’s our favorite neighborhood in all of Fort Wayne.”
Variety of styles on larger lots
Potential buyers will find a variety of architectural styles throughout Arlington Park, ranging from cozy ranchers and farmhouses to colonial-inspired brick homes. The median price of real estate in Arlington Park is $275,000, and buyers can expect to pay an average of $113 per square foot. A two-bedroom/two-bathroom Cape Cod can sell for around $170,000, and prices can go up to $355,000 for a five-bedroom/five-bathroom ranch-style home with a basement. Large, well-kept lawns are the norm, and many houses feature extensive landscaping.

Shopping centers all around
Because of Arlington Park’s proximity to nearby major thoroughfares, residents are less than 3 miles from both Highway 24 and Interstate 469. However, the lack of mass transit stops in the neighborhood makes the area car-dependent. When it’s time to stock up on groceries, neighborhood residents head to Meijer, approximately 2 miles east on St. Joe Center Road, which marks the northern boundary of Arlington Park. Chapel Ridge Shopping Center is also about 2 miles away, where shoppers can find Marshalls, Michaels and Walmart Supercenter. An Indiana University Health Urgent Care facility is located just over a mile west of the neighborhood for any unforeseen medical emergencies, and Lutheran Downtown Hospital is two miles away on Stellhorn Road.
