I've lived in Arlington for almost 18 years, and I really love it. It's the perfect mix of urban and suburban. There is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. We are pretty close to the Capitol, so there is a lot of activity going on. There's many opportunities for entertainment and exercise in the area. It's a very wealthy area, so our government funded establishments are very strong and hold a wealth of resources for the community. Commuting to and from work is not super tedious. I know plenty of people who can easy walk, metro, or bike each day. I do believe that there is something great for everyone here, and there is always something new to explore!
Arlington is a good place if it was somewhere else, being close to DC is a good thing for some people but not great for others, I always thought it is safe here until I got a car and in the first 3 months I had a gun pointed to my head to leave my car and give them all my belongings and of course the individuals are coming from DC, Its EXPENSIVE Like California expensive here so you must make at least 70K to live comfortably, Metro is a huge plus if you don't have a car, Most people are friendly. Bottom line if you work a government job and take metro everyday its a great choice but if you are middle class who wants to buy a house and raise a family I wont suggest it, Some might disagree but trust me I have been everywhere around this area and I drive for Uber from time to time so yeah I know what this area is all about. Oh and gas is affordable here, One thing to note Virginia has a high car tax look into that if you are bringing a car.
I'm leaving the area next year for sure!

Arlington is a very clean and open-minded town with educated individuals and businesses that are dedicated to producing less waste. Many stores and retail centers are modern and well-kept. It is a family friendly area with great public schools. However, traffic is prevalent and real estate prices are through the roof. But, living a healthy lifestyle is easy in Arlington with many healthy food options and amazing trails all over!
