An historic agricultural enclave in Riverside
Rows of citrus trees grow along the gentle hills of the Arlington Heights neighborhood. This area has been a local hub for agriculture since the city of Riverside’s founding in 1883, earning it the moniker of the “Arlington Greenbelt.” It also has the lowest residential density of any neighborhood in Riverside, with residents enjoying wide open spaces populated by vibrant greenery. “It’s a nice, safe neighborhood that’s filled with orange groves. It’s also in a pretty good high school district. You’ve got Arlington High and Polytechnic High, which is a STEM school, right nearby,” says Realtor Brian Hopkins, co-founder of Power of 2 Realty, a Riverside resident who has been working in real estate for five years.

Residential streets surrounded by orange groves
Homes in Arlington Heights are primarily single-family houses. Wide ranch-style homes are tucked away in the area’s rolling hills and citrus groves, sitting on spacious lots flanked by eucalyptus trees and other foliage. Some homes bear the clay tile roof and stucco walls of Mission Revival style architecture, while others sport more contemporary home styles. Units range between 1,600 and 3,700 square feet and are located along avenues and cul-de-sacs. Because of its relatively sparse layout, some residents have excellent views of distant mountains and palm trees dotting the horizon. These homes tend be pricey — typically listing from between $1 million and $3 million, depending on size and acreage.
