Greensboro neighborhood on the upswing
Arlington Park is a mostly residential neighborhood in Greensboro comprised of many homes built before the mid-20th century. “It’s an older community, very old actually. Most of these properties were originally built in the 1930s or 40s,” says William Allen, owner of Allen Real Estate Group LLC, who’s made a few sales in Arlington Park. The neighborhood lies right along Martin Luther King Jr Drive, which acts as an important thoroughfare. The roadway provides a direct connection to downtown and its distinct institutions, which are no more than 2 miles north of Arlington Park. Considered one of the city’s most sought after communities in the 1920s and 1930s, efforts have been undertaken over the years to improve the neighborhood. Some of that work can be seen on Martin Luther King Jr, which has been spruced up with the addition of decorative streetlights and other streetscape additions to make it more pedestrian friendly. A number of homes have also been rehabilitated, work that has helped draw some more attention to Arlington Park. “In that area, you’re seeing a lot of property appreciation due to the location being so close to downtown,” Allen says. “You’re seeing a lot of renovation because a lot of the housing stock is considered to be older.”

Older bungalows, Craftsmen with some newer Colonial Revivals
A number of houses with bungalow and Craftsman features can be found along the neighborhood streets. The neighborhood is home to a number of elderly residents and retirees and some of the houses here have fixtures like specialized ramps placed in front of the entrances. Although there are a great number of homes that can date as far back as the 1930s and 1920s, there are some more modern Colonial Revivals and ranch-styles houses along Caldwell Street. Price points for many homes here — whether it’s one of the roughly century old bungalows or more modern Colonial Revival — run roughly between $150,000 and $200,000. There are also some small cottages that have been billed as investment opportunities. Price points for those fall below $100,000.
