Arlington Heights combines a walkable, restaurant-packed downtown with classic tree-lined neighborhoods and one of the northwest suburbs' busiest Metra stops. It's a favorite for families moving out of the city who still want a train into the Loop.
Brick ranches and Cape Cods, 1950s–70s colonials and split-levels, a growing number of new-construction teardowns, and downtown mid-rise condos near the station.
Elementary and middle schools are mostly Arlington Heights SD 25 (some areas SD 21 or 59); high school is Township HSD 214 (Hersey, Arlington, Buffalo Grove, Prospect and others by boundary).
Metra Union Pacific Northwest line (Arlington Heights and Arlington Park stations), Route 53 and I-90 nearby, O'Hare about 20 minutes.
