Arlington is a great place to live! While it is very expensive, it also has a lot to offer. We are very close to the capital, and can get there very fast with all of the different types of public transportation: Metro, Metro Bus, and Art Bus. In addition to public transportation there are many different bike shares, and motorized scooters that individuals can use to get new places. The schools in Arlington are also very good. I am very lucky to have been able to obtain the education that I did, because of the schools in Arlington.
Very expensive area to live in... but for a good reason. Great public schools, DC right in your backyard, good public transportation. Always something to do in the area! Also rated the most fit city in the US. Reason for not 5 stars - high cost of living, traffic hour gets VERY busy, north Arlington isn't very diverse
Overall very cool place to live, you also get many cool experiences (I've met quite a few pro sports players from DC teams from a casual run in)

Arlington is a mixing bowl of job opportunities, people, and fun! There is incredible cuisine from many countries, authentic and delicious! Downtown has many options such as Ballston, Clarendon, Court House, Rosslyn, and more for exquisite restaurants, shopping, and night life. There are lots of trees despite the urban atmosphere. The school system is top in the state. The communities are diverse and offer a short commute into Washington, D.C.!
