Welcome to Arlington Heights

Vibrant, family-friendly town with a deep sense of community.

Arlington Heights is a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with an urban feel. The train station downtown is convenient for commuters working in Chicago since they can live a short walk from the station as well as shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and parks. Easy access to amenities and award-winning schools, as well as a friendly environment, make Arlington Heights attractive for young families looking to put down roots. 

A train station was the catalyst for the growth of Arlington Heights, as it was originally used by farmers to transport their goods. The station became a community gathering place, and a downtown soon developed as more people moved to the community. Today, the train station remains the hub of Arlington Heights.
