Neighborhood

Arlington is a wonderful vibrant community with much to offer. Founded over 350 years ago, Arlington beautifully incorporates the old with the new in this eminently livable town.

Massachusetts Avenue is the main commercial thoroughfare running through Arlington from Cambridge to Lexington, connecting the distinct neighborhoods of East Arlington, Arlington Center, and Arlington Heights. Along the 3.5 mile stretch, you’ll find dozens of restaurants of many ethnicities, a movie theater, 3 grocery stores, health clubs, and a myriad of wonderful shops.

Among its attributes, Arlington boasts a renowned community theater (Arlington Friends of the Drama), a live theater with an array of unique offerings (The Regent Theatre), The Arlington Center for the Arts, and a beautifully restored library. There are many wonderful outdoor spaces, including the bike path, Menotomy Rocks Park, the Reservoir, and Spy Pond. There is an indoor pool and an ice rink for town residents.

Arlington is bordered on the south by Route 2, and is a short distance from Routes I-93 and I-95. Other major routes that go through town are Routes 2A and 3.

155 Forest Street is perfectly situated to take advantage of much the town has to offer. Arlington Heights Center is a little over a half mile away, and an easy walk to its many shops and restaurants. The Minuteman Bike path, one of the most popular in the U.S., can be accessed just 4 blocks away. The Arlington Reservoir swimming beach, the Recreation Center fields and ice rink, and the new McClennan Park, are all wonderful spaces in a walkable distance from the house.
