Arlington Heights is a bustling northwest suburb that strikes an ideal balance between historic charm and modern convenience. The village is centered around one of the most successful transit-oriented downtowns in the region, where a lively mix of outdoor cafes, the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, and boutique shops cluster around a major Metra commuter rail stop. While it was long famous as the home of the Arlington International Racecourse, the community is currently transitioning into a new era of redevelopment, all while maintaining its reputation for excellent parks, award-winning schools, and a welcoming, traditional neighborhood feel.
