It's a town with city feel.
East Arlington/Arlington center/Arlington heights all have very convenient locations. Connecting to Route 2, MassAve, and close to I 93.
The town is mix of urban and suburban feel. People here are friendly. Sports are seen everywhere with great facilities. A lot of park resources. Spy pond is awesome for kayaking or boating. Arlington is also famous for music and art. The annual Porchfest is a cool event.
Arlington public system is good too that teachers tries their best to bring the best of students.

Moved to Arlington a few months ago and we love it! Community is very family-friendly and welcoming and we love that we can walk to parks, restaurants, coffee shops and still easily travel into Boston/Cambridge.
I really like living in Arlington! It is a beautiful and very safe town. I am so grateful that I got to grow up in such a fulfilling place. One of the best things about Arlington is the ability to walk places and the amazing food! After high school, my friends and I would often walk down to to the local café and get lemonade and sit outside. One thing that could change about Arlington is that it can feel very restricting. There are not a lot of stores in the center. At times it also feels like you are living in a bubble since it is a very liberal town.
